Help for Haiti
Our hearts are gripped by what is happening in Haiti. Andrew and I are praying for the Haitians and have also chosen to donate to Samaritan's Purse.
Today, I was surprised and blown away to discover that the blogging community is banding together to help! Crystal at Money Saving Mom has started the Help for Haiti campaign--for every person that links up to her site, she and her husband are donating $10 to Compassion International! Already over 180 people have linked up--that's $1,800!
Not only that, at least 45 other bloggers have joined the cause and are also donating money for each comment or link left on their site.
How can we help?
1) Pray.
2) Give money to disaster organizations like the ones mentioned above. We are part of the wealthiest country in the world...even in a "bad economy" we can afford to give something!
3) Head over to Money Saving Mom and link up/comment on her site and the others that are donating money!
Love, Alicia
UPDATE: By linking up on other blogger's sites, I have been able to "donate" through them for the amount of $90.10!!!! Awesome!
