A Different Kind of Giveaway

Unless you really do live under a rock, it's been hard to ignore the complete and heartbreaking devastation caused by the 7.3 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti on Tuesday.

We watch these images on television and on our computers, read about the devastation online and in newspapers. It's easy to feel totally helpless.

But we are not. We can help and we can be the hands and feet of God to help the people of Haiti get back on their feet.

We can each give, as our situations allow, to help those affected by this horrific tragedy. A dollar, ten dollars, a prayer...every bit helps!

I have been inspired to do a different kind of giveaway today.

For every person who comments to this post between now and midnight tonight, our family will give $1 to the American Red Cross for the Haitian Recovery Efforts.

Go, go, go!

Together we can make a difference!

xoxo,
Erika

    So generous of you guys! My husband wants to volunteer to deploy there, but because he's a commander I think they will choose someone else in his stead.
