I wanted to pass on some information to you about donating money to Haiti. I’m the first to admit that I donate more when I have the money. This year, I’m feeling the pinch like many people. I lost my job about a year ago and my savings are pretty depleted.

This disaster in Haiti is beyond belief. Feeling sorry for the Haitian people is not enough. So I did a little research and found a list of charities and donated some money. If you are interested in donating yourself, there is a list of charities below:
