A Little Help Can Go A Long Way
September 15th, 2008
I’ve been telling you the last couple of weeks about the absolute devastation in Haiti from being hit by 4 tropical storms and Hurricanes with in less than three weeks. If you missed that, you can read here and here as well.
This morning I made a donation to Food For The Poor, directed to Haitian relief. It was only a mere 20 dollars, it’s what I have for the time being. It’s not much, but I understand that things add up.
If you have a few bucks you can spare, and you’ll put your 20 dollars with mine, and on and on then it won’t be just $20.
Some 1,400 of you read this blog every week. If I could get just 10% of you to make the same donation to which ever relief effort of your choosing; collectively it would be 2,800 dollars we would be providing in relief.
If everyone just does a little, a lot can be accomplished.

Thanks for posting. Hopefully people will heed the call and help where they can.
I hope so too Roschelle.
I matched your $20, Yobachi. And I gave another for any of your readers who is too strapped to do so at this moment in time.
Christina that’s great.
Thanks so much for opening your heart to help these people.
Thank you Yobachi. I matched and matched for someone else, too - plus a little bit more. I will help spread your chain over at my site tomorrow. This is the time to dig deep I think.
Thank you Carmen for your contribution to the effort.
