You CAN Help Haiti

[Blueskies]

Stopping by to put out the call for people who read here from all over the world to give a little bit to help the people in Haiti.
You may or may not have a lot yourselves to give but lets be real here.....
If you have enough to have the internet you CAN come up with a little to give to help.
If you have enough to have a cellphone you CAN come up with a little to give to help.

There are several good and trustworthy organizations that you can give to like the Salvation Army, Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross just to name a few. For instance you can dial 90999 and text HAITI to give $10 to the Red Cross and it will just go on your cell phone bill.

Think about it..only $10 !
You would only have to forego going to Starbucks ONE time...or...
Not buy ONE CD ...or...
Pass up the fast food place ONE time or...
Not buy a case of beer or soda ONE time...or...
Skip going to ONE movie or if you do go just don't get popcorn ONE time....or..

well....you get the idea....
Think about all the little things you may spend $10 dollars on that you could forego just ONE time and put it towards something much more worthy, fullfilling and lasting ...where it could really make a difference and maybe even save your waistline a little bit too. ; )

Have to say again.... if you can find a way to have the internet you CAN find a way to come up with a little to help some folks in dire need....but if you don't feel you can give 10 or more then give what you can to the organization of your choice .....even a dollar or a dime willl build if enough people give and it will matter and do some good. It takes every single drop to fill a bucket...EVERY drop counts. In a small way or a larger way , you can...each one of us CAN help our neighbors. Your reward will be knowing you did something instead of looking but then walking on by without lending a hand.

Spread some love, folks!

Agreed, just as every one could help by abstaining from the many things you mentioned to hire the guy down the street who is out of work to mow their lawn just once. Shouldn't take a tragedy to trigger helping others, especially when there's so much wrong domestically.

I have a feeling that most people on here that will send money for this tragedy donate to many other places and of their time. It's not an either/or.

That's very true. Its not either/or. I will do SOMETHING monitarily for haiti, even if small, because of my personal connection to a few people.

But my brother's condo building he lived in burned down and he lost pretty much almost everything he owned last week, no insurance to help, and I will be helping him when he decides what to do now. He will come first of course because he is the needy in my own family right now, but it doesnt' stop me from wanting to do something, even if just little, for the people in haiti.

I do and I'm sure many others do what they can when they can too. Charity starts at home, yes, but we can extend it to our larger home which is the earth where we all live and whatever affects one has a rippling affect eventually affecting all. The guy down the street is my neighbor and if he is in need I'll help him if I can in whatever way I can....the people of Haiti are also my neighbors ..just living a further distance away.

Although Matt & I don't agree about the alcohol thread, I agree with him here. Obama just pledged $100 million of U.S. money for this. So we already did contribute. I wonder how much of that $100 million will actually reach the people of Haiti?

That is why every 4-6 months, I go down to Wal-Mart and I buy $100-$150 worth of puppy food, dog food & a big box of Milk Bones and take it down to the SPCA. While I'm there, I give every dog/puppy a bone. By doing it this way, I know for a fact the donation reaches it's intented recipients.

AWWW~tear..this touches me, deeply!!!

I'm pretty sure this fight is picking up where it left off in the other thread and I understand
the points being expressed from both sides of the fence...MATTY'S too!!!

Yes, there are people who are in need in the US....but that doesn't mean the people of Haiti are not in need and shouldn't be extended a hand...people who MOST of which live well below the poverty line. NO one is saying there are not those in need in the US and that we should not do what we can for them. What we are saying is that many don't " live like shit" and CAN help both their neighbors down the street as well as their neighbors across the water when the need arises. We have more resources and can reach further if we have the will to. This isn't about politics, religions or differences in cultures..this is about human need and lending a hand to help. Think with your heart on this one.

You all have good intentions, but let me rock your world a bit

Clinton said Washington will provide 287 million dollars in non-emergency to Haiti this year, most of which will be devoted to infrastructure, agricultural development, debt relief, and security, which, despite the natural disasters, has improved sharply over the last several years due largely to the efforts of the Brazilian-led U.N. 9,000-strong peacekeeping force, MINUSTAH.

We sent them $287 million last year alone... clearly it's not being used wisely. Sending them money is putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. Although they are not cursed as that buffoon Robertson said, there are clearly much larger problems at work and I really would think twice before simply cutting a check. At least make sure you send it to the Red Cross or somewhere reputable...

No offense, what youre doing is great, but I think itd be better if you would use that money towards putting some food on the table in front of kids who havent eaten a decent meal in days ...... human kids that is....

You could find some more facts and figures from last year or further back in the past but we are talking about the here and now. Governments will do what they do and what they do can be argued all day but lets just do the right thing first and do what we can to take care of some folks in an emergency situation here. Lets pull them out from underneath a concrete slab before we talk details on how rebuilding will be done. Looking further ahead there is a chance here to help rebuild and make something better and stronger then before so, hopefully, the people can eventually stand up on their own two feet. Let's be sure to make it a hand up not a hand out. Governments will do what they will with funds which we can stand up and fight against if we don't agree with what they do....but we are not talking about giving to the politicians here....we are talking, like you mentioned... about individual action...about giving to the organization of our choice who will put it to good and make a real difference. Just like holding the politicians feet to the fire for them to do the right thing with whats given, the charity organizations will have to be accountable for how they spend whats given. No one can be held accountable for anything though if no one gives to begin with.

He's doing something giving and really, to me, doesn't need to defend, and he's doing it in a very proactive way. My passion veers towards children and where I help the most. But there are those that are passionate towards AIDS victims who are shut in and dying or the elderly or very passionate, like Ken, with animal shelters and such. As long as you're contributing to something unselfishly, who is to judge where you should devote your money or time regarding good causes.

There are many animals in the shelters and SPCA that eat better than human beings. PLUS theyre animals for crying out loud... they could eat out of the dumpster behind a restaurant,,,but God forbid .....let the homeless guy eat that shit,,,,

Good for you. Help where you can from where your heart is and be passionate for what you care about be it human or animal ..plant, air , water or earth.....all things require care. As far as Haiti goes some might want to keep in mind that there will be animals in need of care there too as well as humans.

It doesnt even have to be a meal. Go to a dollar store, get $1 toys and hand them out at a childrens hospitals and foster homes and tell me its not a better deed than put a fuckin bone in front of a dog,,,,a dog that had a meal right before you got there

This is a thread about a population that has been decimated by an earthquake and you are posting about buying dog food!

In some cases, I will actually say yes. I'll give you an example. Which would you rather give your money to? a. Someone that is continually beating the system and mooching off of the goverment merely because they are too lazy to get a job and they feel like everybody owes them some for free. OR B. A domesticated animal that depends solely on humans for food/shelter, etc. I know I'm mixing apples and oranges because you mentioned poor starving children, but I've seen too much corruption in "human charities" to feel sorry for most of them anymore. Starving children is a great cause to want to be a part of. So like I said, you do your thing, I'll do mine. Not sure how you can say that giving MY money would better to starving children. Better is all relative to what you have a passion for.

Case in point, last time I checked, (a few years ago), the head of the Houston division of the United Way made more than $300,000 a year. At that time, that was more than the President of the United States. WHY? So when you donate $10 to the United Way, how much of that $10 is going towards the salary of that executive instead of true people in need?
