Skip Buying Lunch Today and Help Haiti Instead!
Reading all the stories on various news sites this morning (like the one I posted above) broke my heart. I’m all kinds of broke right now (my SLR broke and is at the repair shop right now), but I knew I had to donate something. 2010, as I’ve said, is about putting positive energy out there and the people in Haiti certainly need us to send some positive energy (in whichever form you choose) their way.
NPR has posted a listing of various charities you can donate to. Not a full listing, but definitely something to get you started. Go look here.
I chose to donate to the American Red Cross and it seriously only took 2 minutes to do. All you have to do is select “Donate Now” from the front page and select “INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE FUND“.
If you’re not near a computer, you can actually donate via text message! The State Department’s DipNote blog writes that “for those interesting in helping immediately, simply text ‘HAITI’ to ‘90999′ and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill. For more information, read the Red Cross’ press release on it.
Skip buying lunch today and donate that $10 to the charity of your choice.
