Hope for Haiti

I don't know about you, but the devistation from the earthquake in Haiti really just hit me hard.  It's so upsetting, and I feel like in the midst of it all, I am just living my normal daily life and these people are living in ruins, wondering where their family is or if they are still alive.  I am so blessed to live the life that I live and be healthy.  I want to do something to help and I definitely plan on donating; however, I came across this blogger's website.  She designs blogs for a living, but has decided to set up a site called Hope for Haiti, and is going to be doing giveaways to raise money to support the people of Haiti.  I thought I should spread the word. 

If you are unable to donate, please help by saying prayers.  I know the power of prayer is so strong and the more of us out there praying, the better.

God Bless all of you!

***********Update: Paul recently researched StillerStrong.  Please see his message below about helping the relief efforts by donating to Ben Stiller's organization.

A few months ago Ben Stiller created “Stillerstrong” which is a charitable organization working with Save the Children to help build schools in Haiti. Although the name “Stillerstrong” is an intentional knock-off of Lance Armstrong’s “Livestrong” (instead of a yellow wrist band it’s a yellow headband) Stillerstrong is a real charity and currently 100% of the donations are going to benefit the relief efforts in Haiti. By the way, Lance and Ben are friends and are in a pretend “feud” over Ben using the name Stillerstrong which is pretty funny and you can see their feud on the following clip from Conan: http://www.hulu.com/watch/114567/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien-ben-stiller-part-4


The intentional Livestrong knock-off and subsequent “feud” has brought a lot attention to the charity and I think it was a really clever way to get the word out on a charity that is important to him without being the cliché “concerned celebrity with a cause.” http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/12/22/cho.ben.stiller.charity.cnn?iref=allsearch

If you were considering donating to the relief efforts, this might be a fun incentive to do it.
