Help for Haiti

Use your blog, Twitter, Facebook, or email to inspire and motivate others to take action and help those in Haiti!

My family is personally challenging each of you to give whatever you can to help the families of Haiti. Even if you don’t think you have 2 pennies to rub together there are simple ways you save a couple dollars to give.

• Cut one non-essential item off your grocery list.
• Sell something on craigslist.org [2].
• Make dinner at home instead of eating out.
• Rent a movie instead of going to the theatre.
• Stay home instead of going out.
• Use the library instead of buying a book and latte.
• Text to the following numbers and your donation will be placed on your next cell phone bill. (You will be forced to work it into the budget next month.)

Text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund.

Text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross relief for Haiti.

Now that you have found a way to give, tell us about how you gave and help our family donate even more. Get creative and think outside the box because every little bit helps!

Our family will personally donate $2* to Doctors Without Borders [3] for every person who blogs about what you specifically are doing to help Haiti. Please leave your link below by January 21, 2010 and visit the others linked below to help raise their donations.

Our family will donate $1* to Doctors Without Borders [3] for each comment that is left on this post telling what you specifically are doing to help those in Haiti. Be an inspiration.

Let’s see how much money we can raise together!
