Yéle Haiti has pulled together a group of like minded organizations and first responders in order to help coordinate the delivery of emergency services and materials needed by victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Each or the organizations will undertake their own fundraising and on-the-ground operations, but have agreed to share resources, collaborate when it makes sense and avoid duplication.
The members of this new Haiti Earthquake Alliance are:
Yele Org
· Yéle Haiti
· AmeriCares
· Friends of the World Food Program
· ONExONE Foundation
· Pan American Development Foundation
· Airline Ambassadors
· The Belinda Stronach Foundation
Just formed in the last day, the Alliance has already pulled together four airlifts of medical supplies, food and other emergency supplies – along with teams of doctors. These airlifts will go out beginning Saturday. Keep checking back to this website for details.

Most medical providers insurance companies cover from 80% to 100% for the expenses incurred for the purpose of purchasing your hair replacement. Some medical health care providers will authorize 1 to 3 hair replacements units per year. Ask your health care provider how many they will approve. Also, some health care providers will allow hair replacements yearly, but remember; a doctor’s prescription must always accompany your claim for a hair replacement.
With HMO’s and all new provisions some medical health care providers are turning towards, it is a good idea to call your health care provider to see if you need pre-approval from your primary care doctor.
Never file an insurance claim for a WIG! Always call it a “full CRANIAL PROSTHESIS”. Many, but not all, insurance companies attempt efforts to turn down claims for “wigs”. They should have no reason to turn down a file for a full cranial prosthesis or cranial prosthesis when it accompanies medical therapy and your doctor’s prescription. Invoices for the replacement must accompany your doctor’s prescription. Make copies of all invoices and prescriptions.
Your doctor should give you a prescription for “full cranial prosthesis”. Save this and send a copy along with your claim file.
Your emotional well-being is an important part of your medical recovery process. If you encounter resistance from your insurance company, a letter from your doctor, spelling out that he “prescribed” the prosthesis, not for cosmetic reasons, but as part of your recovery program, should suffice.
If you are still denied ask for a review by the medical review board. Add to your original claim:
• Before And After Photos
• A Hand Written Letter About the Emotional Necessity for Your Prosthesis
• Letters From Your Employer As to Why The Prosthesis Has Improved Your Performance
• Ask Why the Claim Was Denied
If you do not have insurance, most counties in the US have state social services departments which offer medical assistance for those who meet their financial guidelines.
The American Cancer Society will provide free hair replacements and turbans for those without health care. These hair replacements and head wear have been donated by individuals no longer requiring the use of a hair replacement.
