Leon's Answer
The United States leads the way among developed nations with around $114.5 million donated as of last week, according to the U.N. That's more than 28 percent of the $397 MILLION donated to rebuild the impoverished Caribbean nation.
The United Kingdom and France are next with more than $30.9 million and $16.8 million donated, respectively. Australia with $13.4 million and Italy with $8.7 million round out the top five donating countries.
Another $1 billion-plus has been pledged from other nations.
The American Red Cross reports raising $157 million for Haiti relief, with $27 million coming from text messages to 909-99, a special line set up for $10 donations per text.
Plus, there are many other donations text messages, from private companies, public figures and individuals like you and me. At this moment nobody knows the exact amount that has been donated. My guess is that in a few months we'll get some sort of report of the total amount Haiti has received.
