Welcome back to Common Sense with Money. Make sure to subscribe for FREE to my RSS feed or by choosing to get free daily updates via email. You will not miss any of my tips by doing so. Thank you for visiting!

Over these past few days my heart has been heavy after hearing the news coming from Haiti.  See, 11 years ago a devastating hurricane hit my home country of Honduras killing thousands of people and destroying a lot of the infrastructure through out the country.  When I heard the news coming from Haiti I couldn’t help but thinking of everything I felt 11 years ago while watching the devastation on TV and with my own eyes,  the people lost, those alive with their belongings destroyed or wondering if everyone in their families had survived.

Eleven years ago people around the world open their hearts for my country and their people and it is not my turn to do the same for the people of Haiti.  You can help too:

1)  Lift the people of Haiti and their families abroad in prayer.

2)  If you can’t give now consider saving a small amount of money to give later.  Unfortunately help will be needed for a long time for the people of Haiti to recover from this.

3)  You can give for free here, right now.  My family is pledging $1 for every comment left in this post up to 500 comments.  For a total donation of $500 that will go to the Red Cross.

Thank you for your comment and for helping me help others.  Please remember to share this with others so they can also come here and comment and help me reach my goal.

If you are looking for organizations that are accepting donations check out:

Sovereign Grace Ministries
Compassion International
Numana
American Red Cross

This post is also part of a linkup.  If you have a blog and are doing something to help Haiti please leave your link to your post below.  If you don’t have a blog you can share how you are helping in the comments section.  If you are a reader you are welcome to click through to help others help Haiti.

Thank you for donating. I am also the Treasurer of an orphanage located in Beudet, Haiti which was destroyed in the earthquakes (all of the children are alive). The children are currently sleeping in tents because of this. All of our food and supplies was also destroyed. We are accepting donations of any amount to help with food, supplies and rebuilding the structure.

We donated to the US fund for UNICEF and also to a local (Kentucky)-based charity called Ten Kids whose goal is to provide a safe home, education, etc. to Ten Kids http://www.tenkids.org/. I like the idea of giving to an organization meeting general needs of the people of Haiti and to one meeting the needs of specific children. We are so blessed–I can’t imagine the losses of the Haitian people.

My family donated yesterday to FOOD FOR THE POOR, based in Coconut Creek FL (we live in Buffalo NY but heard a speaker once at Mass.) In the fund-raising world where it is acceptable for charities to use up to 25% of all $$ raised for “administration costs,” FOOD FOR THE POOR gives 97.7% directly to those in need!!!!! Incredible efficiency when every single penny counts. Their website is http://www.FoodForThePoor.org if you are interested. They also have a list of specific non-perishable food items and water that can be donated if you live in southern FL.

My husband’s co-worker lived in Haiti for eight years. She told us this morning that all her family members are now accounted for, and for that we give thanks. We hope we can do more.

Thank you for doing this! We talked to our son who is contributing money out of the charity portion of his piggy bank. We are matching it 1 to 10 and then giving it to my employer who will match it 1 to 1.

I saw Hillary Clinton on the Today Show and she asked people to text the HAITI then 90999 which will charge $10 to your cell phone bill. Your donation will go directly to the RED CROSS, a quick and convenient way for EVERYONE to give to this tragic situation. No one should have to suffer in such a profound way. I forwarded this message to everyone of my cell contacts. Spread the word!!!
