Here is a link I found that gives lots of places to donate. Money is reportedly the best way to help because the folks who are providing supplies and staff can use the money to get the supplies needed in an organized fashion.
I will be sending money....I encourage everyone to do the same or help in some way that you can. No matter if it is $1 ..... or many dollars.....that could be each one of us....scared and suffering. I would want to know that the people of the world cared and would help.
We were able to raise 1200.00 for the children in Romania (donated to the Green Fairy Quilt Charity). We sent over 40 boxes of needed supplies to American Samoa for the Tsunami relief efforts (Bejewledquilts.blogspot.com). I am wondering what we can do for Haiti.
Leave me a comment or if you prefer to be private...send me an e-mail and let me know how much you will donate and I will work with companies to get our donations matched for Haiti. How does that sound? For now, all I need is a commitment. Once I know our monies will be matched, I will give you the rest of the information we will need to proceed.
We can make a big difference....I just know we can.
