After trying to make a donationd via the Red Cross website and having a hard time getting through as the site is so busy, I found an easier way to make a donation here the White Houses Twitter site. You can make a $10.00 donation to the Red Cross just by texting the word Haiti to 90999 it will be added to your phone bill. After you send the text you will receive a response that asks you to text "Yes" to confirm your donation or "Help" if you need help. Luckily, if you are reading this you are probably not in need of help. If you do know anyone who has family or friends that have been affected by the earthquake this may be valuable information so please pass it along.
If you are on Twitter please go to the link above and "retweet" the link to donate. Think about adding this link to your facebook page or blog if you have one. The average Haitian lives on $2.00 a day so any monetary donation is appreciated.
Please keep the Haitian people in your thoughts and prayers. If you know of any other ways to help please leave the information in a comment on this post and I will make sure it is passed along to all Libby' World readers.

next time we chat, I will tell you about the woman we met in the tire store moments after the news of the earthquake broke. She is from Haiti. There is something about "mourning with those who mourn" that is deeply moving.
Love, love the red cross donation simplicity.
isn't the text donation idea brilliant?
