Help for Haiti (Blog or Leave Comment on this post to help for FREE!)

by

I’ve been glued to the cable news stations the past few days watching what is happening in Haiti.

We all watch and wonder what can WE do to help? The situation is very dire in Haiti. Help wants to come but even help is having a hard time because of the logistics.

It is heartbreaking.  There is always hope in these situations to see people coming together, putting aside their political differences, and helping others.

There are many ways to help. Even if you think you don’t have much, you can make a difference.

How?

Give. Even if you only have a few dollars to give you can help make a collective difference.

Pray. Prayers are absolutely free and the people of Haiti need them. No matter what God you believe in, please pray for the people in Haiti and the people helping in Haiti.

Blog. Now is a time we can show the power of social media (blogging, Twitter, and Facebook) and use it for good!

  • Crystal Paine, Money Saving Mom, is donating $10 to Compassion’s outreach in Haiti, for each person who blogs about what they specifically did to help those in Haiti and leaves their blog link on her post.
  • Mercedes, Common Sense Money, is donating $0.25 per comment on her post for Haiti.
  • Erin, $5 Dollar Dinners, is donating $5 per comment or link.

In addition, leave your Help for Haiti blog link on this post today (1/15), and I will personally donate $5 to Food for the Poor when you leave your blog post about how you are helping. If you don’t have a blog, leave a comment and I will donate $0.25 for each comment. (up to $500 total)

  6. I have listed the President’s banner on how to help. I also have sponsor Save the Children, and I have a personal essential oil harness the power of nature to kill germs all over the area. This is only one item listed. I have many other nature products that help prevent sickness and illness while the workers, helpers and the sick Haitian in a safer nature cleaning products. Non-profit groups are encourage to enroll@wellness-fundraisers.com.

  8. Bargain Briana, you are inspiring me to do more! I’ve been praying ever since I learned what happened in Haiti, but wasn’t sure how to contribute. Now I’m ready to move on an idea had a while back.

    I’ve been saving all our family’s nut cans for ages. Now I have a huge box of them.

    I’m going to print up some labels for them saying ” We CAN Help Haiti and CHANGE the outcome!” Then my children and I will give them out to everyone we know,( keeping a list for weekly pick up).

    In this economy, lots of people don’t feel they can afford to help much financially, but nearly all of us have coins that weigh down our purses and pockets, that could be doing some good for people in much more difficult circumstances than we are in, here in the U.S. There’s never been a better moment to Love Thy Neighbor!

  9. I wish everbody just took 5-10 mins out of there day to stop and think about how those mothers the fathers and children are feeling just knowing that if something doesnt happen fast they will die. There’s nothing THEY can do at this point… But WE can, we can help save them. There’s a millon ways to help them, I’ve been giving by (txt pay)by the (internet) (calling in) the amount does not matter. A dollar can and will save someones life. Just because we cant see them dying in front of us doesn’t mean they aren’t.. Please, Im an avrage person who dosen’t ever do this, but 5 days ago I heard about this and I cant stop thinking about how it must feel to have nothing, to know you might not live to see your loved ones. Please help, it will change some bodys life…

    PLEASE BELIVIE YOU ALL ARE IN MY PRAYERS.

  13. My heart and prayers are with everyone who lives in Haiti, and the volunteers for their safe trip back home.

  17. I am a nurse practitioner and I donated to Project Hope which will help fund the medical volunteers aboard the U.S. Naval Ship Comfort which will be a floating hospital for the injured Haitians. It will arrive in Haiti soon.

  19. I donated $20 to the Red Cross through their website. I’m broke…what I consider to be broke, but if I really want to I can make an extra $20 somehow. I could save $20 at the grocery store or sell some books. The Haitians don’t have those resources like we do. They need our support.

  20. thank you. I will be sharing heartwarming stories that bring hope and a sense of togetherness and friendship for those who are lost and/or suffering; we all can be that friend, that someone who can make a difference, if only we look a little deeper, dare to think a little greater… in loving memory of ga

  29. I’m giving $10 eCOUPONs to my online gift store Gifts For One Gifts For All (www.giftsforonegiftsforall.com) to those that have donated to organizations helping the Haitian earthquake victims. When the eCOUPON is redeemed, 10% of the purchase will also be donated to organizations helping Haiti. Read my blog for more details at http:/bit.ly/DONATE2HAITI on how you can receive your eCOUPON for donating.

  35. I saw Hillary Clinton on the Today Show and she asked people to text the HAITI then 90999 which will charge $10 to your cell phone bill. Your donation will go directly to the RED CROSS, a quick and convenient way for EVERYONE to give to this tragic situation. No one should have to suffer in such a profound way. I forwarded this message to everyone of my cell contacts. Spread the word!!!
