Help for Haiti- How YOU Can Help

*This post will remain at the top. Please scroll down to see the deals.

As I’m sure that you’ve heard all of the devastating stories about the traumatic earth quake over in Haiti. This truly is a time when people abroad need our help, even in the smallest amounts.

The American Red Cross and many other numerous organizations are collecting funds to benefit those in need over in Haiti. This is our time to step up and give what we have, whether it be monetary or something else. There are things that we can all do to help.

I am going to follow suit and help out just like all the bloggers over at Money Saving Mom. She has gotten the ball rolling on using our blogs to start a movement of assistance.

Here’s how YOU can help:

Leave a comment on THIS post with how you are helping (donating money, items, etc.) and for every comment- my husband and I are going to donate $.50 (up to $500) to the American Red Cross.

If you’re a blogger, please leave a link and I will donate for that as well.

So NOW this time to leave a comment if you never have! And please don’t forget to pray. Even if that’s all that you can do.

And please stop by Money Saving Mom and see all of the other bloggers who are donating per comment/post. These comments will help increase the money donated!

LEAVE a comment please!

Amy,
Thank you for this opportunity to help. I would love to be able to give financially myself, but funds are very tight at this moment.

I have been and will continue to pray for the people in Haiti.
