help for haiti

Yesterday I posted some ideas HERE for everyone to donate to this terrible disaster in Haiti.  My husband and I usually have a certain amount of money each year that we set aside for charitable donations.  It is never enough but I am a firm believer that when everyone contributes a little it can make a huge difference.

Our family discussed a personal donation yesterday and then Crystal came up with the great idea to get all the blogging community involved.

So I am totally on board!  I will be donating .25 for every comment left on this post until midnight tonight (remember I am Pacific time) up to $300.  I know some people just simply don’t have anything to give and trust me I have been there too.

**********

But if you can spare a little extra than money is really the bottom line to helping in these awful situations.

The best and fastest way to do that is to head over HERE to the Red Cross.

Or you can donate by sending a text on your cell phone “Haiti” to 90999 and $10 will be added to your next cell phone bill.

You can also text YELE to 501501 to donate $5 to the Yele Haiti organization.

You can also check out a long list of other blogs that are also donating to the cause right over HERE!!

EDITED:  Thank you everyone for all the comments!  You guys raised just under $40 by simply commenting today!  I have donated $300 to the relief effort via the Red Cross.  And thank you to everyone that was able to contribute in any way either via Swagbucks, commenting or your own donations!

    I donated to humanesociety.org; they happened to have a vet team in the Dominican Republic when the tragedy struck; will be sending them over to Haiti. All living creatures need to be respected.

    This is so great! I was wondering if we could donate our freebies (after q’s) and send it to Haiti?

    I plan to help by “rounding up” at Publix when I grocery shop tonight. It’s not much, but it’s what I can do!

    Thank you so much for doing this! It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer size of this tragedy, but I’m trying to remember that every dollar helps and when we’re all contributing it adds up quickly. I’ll be texting in my donation today.

    This is an awesome idea. Also if you shop on eBay or sell on eBay you can donate when you make a purchase or have a certain percentage of your sells got to the ppl in Haiti god bless
