Help for Haiti




Crystal, over at Money Saving Mom, is hosting a fund-raising effort to help the people of Haiti. (Be sure to visit her site as she is donating $0.30 for every comment and $10 for each blog link-up!) I feel it is an extremely worthy cause and would love to do my part. Thousands of people are hurting and need our help.

First, and foremost, we can pray, pray, pray. I showed some of the pictures of the devastation to the kids this morning and we talked about what these people were experiencing. Then we prayed together. It was a sobering time for everyone and also provided a wonderful discussion about the power of prayer and our God!

We can also give to those in need. No matter how much or how little, surely there is something everyone can give, even if it's just a few dollars. A little goes a long way, especially in Haiti.

Austin and I will be donating $0.30 for every comment left on this post to Numana Inc., an international hunger relief organization. $0.30 can provide one meal for a starving person in Haiti. So your single comment will essentially provide a person with a meal! How awesome is that?

Comments will be left open until Jan. 21. So what are you waiting for? Blow my socks off with comments! Let's work together to Help Haiti!
