Help for Haiti

January 15, 2010

Haiti

Thanks to everyone who commented yesterday.

I don’t need to tell you about the devastation in Haiti.

I don’t need to tell you we all need to come together and do what we can to help.

I do want to tell you how you can help. For each person who leaves a comment today 01/15, my husband and I will donate $.25 to the American Red Cross.

My heart goes out to the families who have suffered great losses and to those who are still waiting to find out where their mother, father, children, brothers, sisters or friends are. I cannot imagine their agony. I pray that they will be able to come through this catastrophe stronger and more faithful.

So take a moment and leave a comment.

If you have the time, head over to Money Saving Mom for other bloggers who are working together to raise money for Haiti. Your comments today and support of these blogs can make a difference!

    I thought I should write – of course you can donate to whatever organization you trust, but if you want the funds to go straight to the field, this is a good place.
    http://www.bhm.org/bhm/lang-en/haiti-earthquake-news-and-updates.html
    Baptist Haiti Mission is an established ministry in Haiti which has a hospital and schools. Samaritan’s Purse – another well-known Christian ministry has teamed with BHM to help in this time. You can see up to the minute updates and/or donate through the web address above. Just an FYI.
