Update: Thanks to all of you that participated in our fundraiser. This was really fun to do and was definitely a new experience and challenge to us. After adding what we saved in groceries along with the comments you left on this blog we raised a total of $75.00 to donate to Extend Global for the express purpose of providing the physical and spiritual needs of those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. Thanks again!~Brian and Heather
We've all seen it on the news and web by now. Haiti has been so devastated by this earthquake and most of us will never know or be able to comprehend the turmoil that they are going through during this time. What will we do?
1. Praying is something we can do. Our God is powerful and mighty and shows Himself to people when we call on His name.
2. Do you feel that praying isn't enough? Do you want to do more? We can also GIVE. I went grocery shopping yesterday and saved 62% on my groceries. I've decided to donate that saved amount to Extend Global (see below).
3. Do you want to do more but don't have many resources? Some of us have very limited resources and don't feel that even the smallest monetary donation would amount to much. I just read a quote from another blogger, Crystal, that said, "Even if it seems like it's a drop in the bucket, remember that a bucket of water is made up of that--drops!"
So, this brings me to my subject. In cooperation with other fellow couponing bloggers across the country we're teaming up to help Haiti. It's simple and it doesn't have to cost you one penny! Visit http://www.moneysavingmom.com/ to find out just how this is done. All it will cost you is a bit of your time!
Here's my offer to you... Leave me a comment telling me what you're doing to help. Be creative. For every comment I get I'll donate another $1 to Extend Global. I do have a limit of $200. So, tell your friends, family, facebook it...whatever it takes!
***This deal ends at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 16, 2010.
***Extend Global is an evangelical mission agency committed to meeting the physical and spiritual needs of people around the world. Primarily, they do this by sending short-term teams to meet those needs. You can visit their website at http://www.extendglobal.org/
