Haiti Relief Effort

*This post will remain at the top of the page. Please scroll down for deals.

As you may know by now, a powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12 killing thousands if not hundred of thousands of people.  In the spirit of giving, we would like to ask our readers to consider giving to the cause in Haiti. 

Below are a list of non-profit organizations helping with the efforts.  Please consider giving a tax-deductible donation to help with the relief efforts:

You can text ‘yele’ to 501501 to donate $5 to yele
You can text ‘Haiti’ to 90999 to donate $10 to The American Red Cross
Yele (100% of funds will go to help with the relief efforts) *This site has been down due to a flood of donations. 
American Red Cross
Habitat for Humanity
Samaritan’s Purse
UNICEF

or, if you prefer, check in with your local church to see if there is anything you can do.

**We are joining forces with other great bloggers (Crystal at Money Saving Mom and many more) to do what we can to help those in need. Michael and I will donate 50¢ for every blogger who leaves a link to their post sharing what they are doing to help those in Haiti. If you don’t have a blog, leave us a comment to let us know what you have done and we will donate 50¢ per comment. We will be sending our money to help the American Red Cross in their relief efforts.

Even if you don’t think you have much to give, pray about it. A small amount to us could equal a meal for an entire family in Haiti. We are doing this on Faith. We pray you will too.
