Has it been hard for you to go through your day since the news of Haiti? Much of my day seems quite silly and inconsequential when so much suffering is being experienced at the very moment that I am sitting blogging about nonsense in my safe home. I know many of you feel the same way. Last night I told my husband that every time I allowed myself to start to think of the magnitude of the suffering, I can feel myself sliding into a panicked state. This does no-one any good.
But we can do good. Even while we are sitting blogging in our safe homes. We are so blessed.
Today I am joining fellow bloggers in an effort to raise money for Haiti. Click here to read about it. Please visit as many blogs to leave a comment as you can. If you can't afford to donate money at this time, you will be doing so this way. This is the one time that you can feel really good about surfing the web. If you are a blogger, you can join in too.
For every comment that is left here, I will donate 0.25 c and for every link left by another blogger who is willing to help by setting up a Mr Linky on their blog for this cause, I will donate 0.50 c to LDS Humanitarian Services Emergency Response (Haiti) up to $50. This is one of the most well known, effective and respected charitable organizations in the world. 100% of your donation will go to direct aid for the victims in Haiti.
Bloggers please link up in the MckLinky below so we can find you, too.
And again, I do believe prayers are our most powerful currency. Everyone can afford to share them, so please do.
Thank you so much.

This is a great idea.
My heart is troubled for Haiti.
I think that the Lord has truly put so many wonderful earth angels here to help raise money for a very much needed cause!!!
I can't give any money but I am going to send clothes!!

I love this idea. What a great way to get everyone involved in helping out a great cause. Thanks for what you're doing!
I'm glad you're doing this...I wanted to help but we are reaaaaaaaaally strapped for cash (DH unemployed). So thank you for giving me a chance to help!!
The people of Haiti are in our prayers.
What a great idea! Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for making comment-fueled donations. I donated via text and am visiting blogs to increase the donation potential. :)
Thanks for helping the Haitians. They really need our support, and they're in my prayers.
Thanks for stopping by on my SITS day! I LOVED all the comment love and now I'm here to spread it around!
Great donation idea!
I have been avoiding the internet the last couple of days because we are still waiting to hear of some family members and any news makes me just cry. I just opened my Blogger Dashboard this morning and saw this so of course I'm going to comment. Has anyone else kind of lost their groove since this disaster happened? All I can do is pray nowadays...Thank you for this! Sending you a big Haitian hug...we're huggers... (((hugs)))
My best, Lynn
Hi from Uruguay!!
Great job! It has been on my heart as well all week! Thanks for doing what you can! Our school did a fundraiser yesterday...raised over $5000. Love to see people reaching out!
I donated my Swagbuck points to the cause and am commenting on generous blogs like yours. :)
Good for you. Every little bit helps so much.
I love that our church has such a great way for us to donate. And I love that so many do.
Love your comment idea! I'll link to you on my FB page. :)
thank you. I will be sharing heartwarming stories that bring hope and a sense of togetherness and friendship for those who are lost and/or suffering; we all can be that friend, that someone who can make a difference, if only we look a little deeper, and dare to think a little greater... in loving memory of ga
Great idea!
Count me in...thanks for your generous heart, and I'm so glad to be helping even in some small way. I'm especially glad to see donations to LDS Humanitarian services, since I know all the money will go to those in need rather than to overhead =)
thanks for your efforts here! i can donate by reading and clicking.. i like that!
Commenting for Haiti!
hard to believe it's been a full week since the earthquake... we have a sweet girl we love and sponsor through compassion. don't know how she & her family are doing, but please pray for Baberthia and thank you for the donation.
Interesting blog you got here. It would be great to read a bit more concerning this matter. Thank you for sharing this info.
