Bloggers Uniting for Haiti

I know I just blogged about Haiti yesterday, but Crystal at Money Saving Mom is calling people into action and I had to join in. She is calling anyone who has a blog and has done anything for Haiti to blog about what you have done and link up at her blog. Her family is donating $10 for every person who links up there.Crystal is also donating $.30 for every comment left.   Others are also donating for every link or comment on their blog.

My husband and I were given some money for Christmas that we haven't yet spent. When I asked him about donating to Haiti he didn't hesitate to donate all of his Christmas money (I love him!). We both donated our unspent Christmas money to Compassion.

I know everyone doesn't have extra money to donate, but everyone can pray for them. Whatever you can do, go here and leave a comment, or if you blog about what you have done leave your link. You can donate through Compassion by clicking on the banner above. If a lot of people do a little it turns into something big.

Help Haiti

My heart is aching for those in Haiti. I'm sitting in my house with the heat on so that I can stay warm while it is cold outside. I have plenty of food to eat. I have clean water to drink. I have clean clothes to wear. These things that we consider a necessity are considered a luxury to most in Haiti.

Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Throw in a natural disaster and the people there must think there is no hope. My biggest worry is getting my baby to sleep through the night. Most mothers in Haiti are wondering where their baby's next meal will come from. Will you help them during this catastrophic time?

You can click on the banner at the top of my blog to give through Compassion, a reputable Christian organization. You can also give through the Red Cross. If you do donate, go to Kelly's Korner and leave a comment letting her know you have done so. She is donating $1 for every comment up to $1,000.

If you can't give, then please pray.

The spaceship

Many people build things for their kids to play in, like a treehouse, a swingset, or a spaceship. Yes, I said spaceship. One of our friends is building a spaceship in his backyard for their kids. And not just a small model spaceship for them to look at. No, this spaceship is big enough for their kids to climb in and feel like they are really on an adventure in outer space. It is even going to have electronics on board.

You can go here to see pictures of the work in progress. There are still many more things they would like to add to the spaceship, so they are accepting donations to help out. Melivin(dad) and Toya(mom) are freinds of ours and I can testify to their integrity of accepting money for this project. It will be used solely for the spaceship.

I can't wait for it to be done so I can play in it! I mean, let Jazlyn play in it. Happy Saturday!
