Nothing to add to what has been said in the news, the interwebs or in conversation. However, if you just need a little help/motivation, if you have been contemplating making a donation to help the people of Haiti, let me make things a little easier for you. Consider giving to the Red Cross and to Doctors without Borders. Both groups do great work and are on the ground in Haiti now, trying to help the earthquake survivors. For those who cannot afford to give right now, consider offering up a prayer or a heartfelt hope (if prayer is not your thing). Every little bit helps. thanks all.
UPDATE: In the time honored tradition of stealing great ideas – I love the idea of Ms. Aidan Donnelley Rowley over at Ivy League Insecurities. And why try to re-invent the wheel. Soooo: I will donate $2 to the Red Cross for every comment made on this post between now and Monday January 18th at 11:59 pm. If you’re shy about commenting, just type “Help Haiti.” Or tell your friends to come on over and leave a comment. If you want something to comment about, share how you’re putting your money where your mouth is – either for Haiti OR for your other causes, passions, or goals. Share the love.

Thanks so much for what you are doing and joining for the people of Haiti. We have given through Hope for Haiti and took some supplies to a supply drive in Savannah. We also have a link up at simplesavingsmom.blogspot.com.

Great idea, I’m doing the same over at my blog. I’m donating $10 for each comment and if I see that you’re also doing a Help Haiti Blog Challenge, I’ll add another $5.

Sorry I let you down on this one! I’ve been ‘off the air’ over the past week due to extra workload. Just catching up now.
