Announcing the Winner of Haïti Aide
Thank you all so much for participating, and showing your support for Haiti.
I’m excited to announce that Anika was randomly selected for the $50.00 donation! Anika’s charity of choice is the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints.
I’m also excited to announce that Auntie Jill will be matching the $50.00 donation to the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints! She was debating what charity she should contribute to in support of Haiti, and decided that she would make her donation to the charity selected in Haiti Aide.

It’s been two weeks since the tragic earthquake in Haiti. We have continued to watch the nightly news, and have stayed in constant contact with Andy. Everyday new stories unfold, both heartbreaking and uplifting. It’s still hard to believe that something that lasted less than a minute can change so many lives.
The more we learn about Haiti, and how much help is desperately needed there, the more we want to help. The desire to help in a big way has become palpable for our family. In the coming weeks, I will continue to post about Haiti. I will give you more opportunities to help Haiti, and I will share the things that we are doing in our family to help.
Please continue to keep the people Haiti in your thoughts and prayers. Don’t let your desire to help fade as the news coverage dwindles.

The last several disasters should have taught everyone the need to be completely self-reliant for a couple of weeks. Granted, it’s impossible to get your supplies if buried under tons of rubble but for most of us living in the eastern U.S., that’s not our primary threat. It takes a long time to get help when there are thousands or millions of people in need and those of us who can get by for awhile on our own will suffer much less.
