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

by Briana Carter on January 15, 2010

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.

Donate to Food for the Poor
Donate to Compassion International
Sponsor a Child through World Vision or give a one time donation

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)

Thank you for doing this. I wanted to post a link to an organization that I used to work for. There are local offices all over the U.S. and overseas (including an office in Indianapolis).

I had 2 airlines that I had a lot of points with but won’t be flying in the near future. I donated those miles to the Red Cross today – they use them to fly their workers to areas of need.
