Because Every Little Bit Helps

All this week I've been trying to think about what I can do to support the earthquake relief effort in Haiti. Several days ago I made a small donation to our local Red Cross, but I feel absolutely compelled to do more. I feel it in my heart.

Inspired by the always fabulous OhMommy of Classy Chaos fame, I ask all of you lovely readers to say hello, leave a comment, delurk & introduce yourselves:

I will donate $1 per person/comment (cap at 100) to the Canadian Red Cross in support of the Haitian quake relief effort. I will also do my very best to find a local business to match this donation.

Thank you all so much for your support -- every little bit helps.

Note: I shall leave this post up til Jan 25th before making my dontation -- thank you for the comments! Keep spreading the word!

...

Update: Thank you to everyone who commented in support of Haiti! I have decided to DOUBLE the comments and will be donating not $46, but $92 to the Canadian Red Cross. Merci & much love.
