THANK YOU ALL! Paypal was pushed on 1/25/10 with a grand total of $150. Feel free to continue giving to haitian releif efforts on your own.
Nothing's more frustrating than not being able to provide hands-on care for folks who need it. Next best thing is cash. And who's cash better than mine?
For EVERY comment left on this thread between now and Midnight EST this Friday, I'll donate a buck. Link to this post on your blog, and I'll double it.
Where's the cash going? DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS. Aka Medicines sans Frontiers. Already positioned in Haiti, this fabulous group of committed health care workers know how to provide health and medical care in the most desolate of places and tragic of circumstances.
So drop me a line... won't cost you a cent, and we'll help the Haitian people.
Peace, Linda

DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS - one of the few groups I have faith in. Happy to add my voice.
ReplyDeleteThanks you for being a middle person in helping Haiti!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say well done, hear hear and I made a donation through one of our reputable charities here in Aus.
ReplyDeleteJust read your poem "Winter and All." That was wonderful. And I loved your explanation of it as well. Wish I could see it in person.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for helping the Haitian people.
Nice one Linda!
ReplyDeleteYou're so wonderful.
ReplyDelete:)
Hey, I'm in!
ReplyDeleteGod bless Haiti!
thanks for what you're doing!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. Great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all! Between comments here, on fb, a handful of emails, and backlinks, we raised over a hundred bucks. I pushed paypal this afternoon - YAY!!!!! Peace, Linda
ReplyDeleteHey Linda, I sent in $100. I had capped it at that amt., and it came close. I had about 70 comments at Care2 (but many were ongoing conversations) and 52 on my blog, but some of my sweet friends stuffed the ballot box with multiple comments, as well as dual comments on both Care2 and my blog. Another blog friend agreed to match my donation up to 25 dollars, and another to 10.
ReplyDeletePretty exciting stuff, huh? What a great idea of yours and also what a marvelous way to make a new friend, to say nothing of really support a charity that makes a true difference.
Hugs, Kim
What an amazing effort. Thank you so much for doing this!
ReplyDeleteLinked to my blog this morning:
