Has Tiger Woods donated a mobile hospital to Haiti? If so, kudos to him. Haiti is in an intense medical crisis.

Hospitals in Haiti are turning away patients due to overcrowded conditions. The medical group Doctors without Borders has stated that most of their medical facilities were destroyed in the earthquake. Getting prompt medical care after the earthquake is currently a nightmare scenario in Haiti.

Thus, if Tiger Woods has sent a plane with a mobile medical unit it is a heroic good deed.

Russell Simmons put up a "tweet" on Twitter noting that "Heard Tiger Woods donating to send a cargo plane with a mobile hospital out there" according to TMZ.

Tiger lives in Florida, which has a large population of people from Haiti. Thus he may be quite familiar with the needs of Haiti and the urgency of the help needed there.

He certainly has the financial ability to make this sort of massive donation that will save lives. Medical care is an urgent priority in Haiti now. Many hospital buildings have been demolished in the earthquake. Some medical staff members are missing or killed in the earthquake. The medical staff that is available is in dire need of supplies and medications.

If making a humanitarian donation to Haiti to help the injured people there get help is Tiger Woods' first public act after his accident on Thanksgiving night it is a noble act indeed. Philanthropic good deeds might show that Tiger Woods is still a person who cares about others, despite his allegedly high number of mistresses.

It is always nice to hear that those people blessed with a talent that allows them to earn massive amounts of money use some of that income to help others. It will be interesting to see which other famous Americans use their talents to help Haiti. There will surely be some benefit concerts and events coming up shortly.

You may also wish to donate to Haiti via donations to www.unicefusa.org, www.savethechildren.org, or www.mercycorps.org.

Also, many local churches and organizations will be having food and clothing drives to help the people of Haiti. We can all go through our homes and collect items we no longer use and donate them. Many people in Haiti have lost their homes and everything they owned.

They are in an unimaginable crisis.

If we each spend a little time donating items and holding garage sales or selling stuff at the flea market to raise funds to donate perhaps it will make a dent in the help needed in Haiti.
