Help for Haiti
January 15, 2010
OK, folks; step up here. A couple of my fellow food bloggers are stepping away from the kitchen to help those whose have not only no kitchen, but no food or water, not to mention devastating damage and injuries, in the wake of the Haiti quake.
For the next week, comment on this post and tell me what charity you prefer to support to help the people in Haiti. I’ll donate 50 cents per comment to the most popular charity from the comments. If you’ve donated to the Haitian relief effort already, tell me that, and I’ll up my match on your behalf to a buck. (Yes, I’m trusting you to be honest about it, and if you’re not, it’s still in a good cause and those people need all the help they can get.)
So get out your checkbooks or credit cards and make your donations to the charity of your choice, let me know about it, and after noon on next Friday, my donation will be on its way as well. If you can’t afford to donate, just shout out good wishes and love and prayers to Haiti on here, and we’ll go from there.
And stop for a moment and be thankful for what we have, especially in comparison to those who are suffering so horribly this week.

Thanks so much for doing this and for donating, you will truly touch lives. I don’t know what the greatest need is right now but I would support
Doctors without Borders
Red Cross

This is amazing! May the Haitians see Christ’s love through our help
My Charity of Choice: Doctors without Borders.
(Also I have donated to the Red Cross by texting “Haiti” to “90999” – For anyone that doesn’t know it will automatically charge $10 to your next cellphone bill and give the donation to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts in Haiti)
January 15, 2010 at 4:47 am
Great idea! I’ve already donated to WorldVision’s relief efforts.

We’ve donated to Doctors without Borders.
January 15, 2010 at 4:54 am
Catholic Relief Services. They’ve been working in Haiti for years anyway, and are always one of the first at any disaster.
January 15, 2010 at 5:05 am
Thank you for your generous donations!
January 15, 2010 at 5:05 am

I found you through the Thursday Night Smackdown blog. Thank you so much for your generosity! A friend of mine has done a lot of volunteer work in Haiti and he has urged his friends to donate to UNICEF, so that’s my charity of choice.
January 15, 2010 at 5:14 am
Thanks for doing this…I have donated to the American Red Cross.

Thank you very much for organizing this effort. Using your blog to raise funds lets everyone help out. I gave you a little shout out on my blog so hopefully you will get a few more visitors! Thanks again.
January 15, 2010 at 6:12 am
Oops, forgot to say that I would donate to Doctors without Borders.
January 15, 2010 at 6:15 am
Thank you for your generous spirit.
I would support Doctors without Borders.

January 15, 2010 at 6:22 am
The amount of support from the world has been astounding. I have donated to the Lions – they aren’t just about eyes. There are Lions in Haiti, and LCIF is getting the funds and supplies to the people who are there and know how the country works.
January 15, 2010 at 6:24 am
We donated to americares.org but I think
Doctors without Borders
Red Cross
Or Compassion International are wonderful as well. There’s so many organizations doing good work.
Thank you for doing this.
January 15, 2010 at 6:24 am
I love the power of the blogosphere!
My choice charities include Doctors without Borders, The Clinton Foundation and the American Red Cross
January 15, 2010 at 6:25 am
Thank you for doing this! I have made a small donation to Doctors Without Borders, and I’m making the rounds to all the generous bloggers out there.
January 15, 2010 at 6:28 am
Samaritan’s Purse. Thank you for doing this – may our weeping drive us to our knees (Luke 13:1-5) and to our wallets (Luke 25:40).
January 15, 2010 at 6:30 am
Red Cross or Doctors without Borders.
And I texted in a $10 donation to the Red Cross (HAITI to 90999) and $5 to Yele Haiti (YELE to 501501).
January 15, 2010 at 6:37 am
What a wonderful thing you’re doing! We’ve donated to Red Cross – every penny helps!

January 15, 2010 at 6:47 am
Thank you so much! We have friends who are missionaries down there and have heard first hand of the desperation and horror. It’s heart-breaking. God bless you for what you’re doing.
January 15, 2010 at 7:07 am
I heard about Haiti first from an e-mail my pastor sent out. We’re an Anglican church, so he linked to the Anglican Relief and Development Fund’s page to help Haiti through the crisis (http://anglicanaid.net/?/main/page/19) and that’s where I donated when I first heard.
Thank you for doing this. I don’t have any family connection to Haiti, but I’ve never seen so many bloggers respond so generously to any disaster before.
January 15, 2010 at 7:15 am
It’s wonderful to see so many blogs doing this. Thank you for letting us help in this way! I would like to nominate Doctors without Borders 🙂
January 15, 2010 at 7:23 am
Thank you for doing this. I am supporting the Week of Compassion fund sponsored by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
January 15, 2010 at 7:27 am
Thank you 🙂
January 15, 2010 at 7:34 am
American Red Cross – Thank you for helping.
January 15, 2010 at 7:46 am

January 15, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Thank you for doing this. And just as a reminder to everyone (not because you haven’t heard it, but maybe you haven’t done it yet) you can donate $10 to the Red Cross via cell phone by texting the word HAITI to 90999.
Every cell phone carrier (in the US) is waiving the fees if you choose to do so.
January 15, 2010 at 3:27 pm
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti tonight. Thank you for your generosity!

January 20, 2010 at 10:08 am
donated $25 via text messaging here in Canada, through the Rogers Wireless Network. They’ll be forwarding 100 per cent of the money raised through OneXOne Foundation to Partners in Health: Haiti, Cdn Red Cross, etc. but any charity you pick is good to me!
January 20, 2010 at 10:24 am
I donated to the American Red Cross. I think they’re great because they share resources with other groups.
January 20, 2010 at 1:22 pm
I donated $25 to Médecins Sans Frontières but I should be honest. I specified “greatest need” on my donation. The woman on the phone and I both suspected it would be going to Haiti relief but one never can tell. (There are so many areas of the world in dire need!)
I tried to donate to the Red Cross but couldn’t get through because all the phonelines were so busy and the online donation page was refusing to load. Thank you for the reminder to try again.
I also plan to send a donation to World Vision, as they were already working in Haiti.
Thank you for doing this! (found you via Thursday Night Smackdown)
