Haiti. What can you do to change someone’s life?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

The devastation in Haiti has really rocked the world including mine.  Red Cross estimates that 3 million people were affected by the earthquake.  3 million.  My heart aches when I think about it.  When you’re one solitary person on the other side of the world, you don’t feel like you have much to offer in the way of real help.  But I’m not just one person, am I?

I have my tribe.  And thanks to Kelly Diels we have The Help Haiti Blog Challenge.  Here’s a quick excerpt from her site:

How To Join the Help Haiti Blog Challenge. What You Can DO.

Remember Gwen Bell’s Best of 2009 Blog Challenge? It brought a LOT (700+) of people together. Which got me thinking…a blog challenge is a way to rally together and have a big impact through a lot of little actions.

Hence: The Help Haiti Blog Challenge. Let’s do it.

Here’s how we can share, together, so we can give, together, to our people who need and deserve help in Haiti.

1. Sign up for the Help Haiti Blog Challenge (below). Write about it on your blog and tag it “Help Haiti Blog Challenge“. Ask your people to join you and do the same.
2. Add the Help Haiti Blog Challenge badge to your blog.
3. Make your offer: I will donate ________ dollars to _________ on behalf of the next person who buys _________ from me.
4. Make your donation and tell us how much you donated.
5. Tweet about it using the hashtag #haitiblogchallenge. Update your facebook status with a request to pass on the message and the call to action. Send e-mails. Everywhere you are, online, talk about the Help Haiti Blog Challenge, tag it, and call your friends, family, colleagues – your people –  to action.

So here’s my deal.  I will donate the full package price ($300) to the next person who purchases and pays for my Social Media Start-Up Package to the Red Cross’ Haiti relief efforts.
