I have been so moved by the many individuals who have made small contributions towards the relief effort in Haiti. These small efforts have turned into monumental contributions.

People everywhere want to know how they can help. Do you want to know how you can help?

If you haven’t yet decided to make a contribution, put yourself, your loved ones and your family in this position. I know that not everyone is in a place to make a monetary contribution, but your time is just as valuable as your money. Check out local charities that are sending aid to Haiti. If they haven’t already started looking for volunteers to help sort food, clothing and other donations, they will be looking for them soon.

If you’ve decided to make a contribution, deciding which organization to donate to can be overwhelming.

Here are my suggestions

The Help Haiti Blog Challenge: If you provide products or services and would like to contribute a portion (or all) of your profits to the relief effort in Haiti, check this out. If you are participating in the Help Haiti Blog Challenge, please let me know, as I would love to promote your work.

Direct Relief International in collaboration with Reddit.com: Reddit users were concerned about what their contributions would be used for. In response, Reddit did some research and partnered up to ensure that 100% of donations go directly to the relief effort. Reddit’s contributions are already on the way.
