We're tracking donations from LSG alone and we've got over $10,000 as of the last time I checked.

Did you consider offering a knit item in the auction at help_haiti?

Actually, yeah. I was thinking help_haiti was just about fic and fanart, and then I realized that, hey, knitting is fannish! So, yeah. Gonna make some Jayne hats.
