Helping Haiti

The disaster in Haiti is unbelievable. I can't stop watching CNN videos and scanning the haunting photos that are coming out of that already unbelievably poor country.

But I've also been moved by the incredible amount of generosity of people who are giving, giving and giving. If you're on the Internet for .2 seconds today, you can't escape people sharing ways to donate or stating that they helped and want to do more.

I love that technology means if I have three minutes, a phone and a computer, I can do something.

In three minutes, I:

• donated $10 to Compassion International by texting "Disaster" to 90999.
• was dollar #124 by commenting on Design HER Momma's post who is donating $1 to Compassion for each comment today.
• retweeted Bebo Norman who is donating $5 for every person who retweets his Compassion's disaster relief link.
• bought raffle tickets for the Lisa Leonnard gift certificate at Hope for Haiti. Companies and bloggers are donating prizes with all money raised going to the Red Cross and Compassion International. $1 equals one raffle ticket.

This tragedy is so overwhelming to look at but I can actually do something, no matter how small.
