Do so here (a list of reputable groups that will appropriately utilize your donations)... do it.
Seriously. You live in a cushy city with cushy amenities like hot water, electricity, and food (even if the cupboards or bare its because of your own laziness and not because you can't go buy a box of Mac 'n Cheese at the Smiths... eh?), and slept in a cushy (all be it functionary) bed. You can help Haiti. In addition to the above link - below are direct links to Red Cross and LDS Church sites if they are your international aid donation group of choice.
International Red Cross
American Red Cross (is taking donations in a number of ways. You can send a $10 donation by texting 'Haiti' to 90999. Donations can be sent to the International Response Fund through www.redcross.org or by calling (800) 733-2767. )

LDS Church (which I might add a large plane full of goods and aid left this morning... the Church is always so on top of things. SO! On top of things!)
*And as a little food for thought - the Wasatch Front has been slatted for a very large earthquake sometime in the future - so thinking that Haiti is a remote country where it's hard to grasp the reality and severity of what happened - think about SLC squished between tectonic plates and perhaps donate out of pure karma.
