Haiti.

The people of Haiti have been on all of our hearts and minds this week. It certainly puts our every day complaints aside when we think of what these people have lost.

It is hard to feel helpless and not know what to do besides watch, wait and pray.

We sponsor a child through Compassion International and yesterday I received an email from them asking for help.

Compassion sponsors and donors serve more than 65,000 children in Haiti. At least a third of them live in the areas that were hardest hit.

Because I believe in Compassion and the ministry they provide to not just Haiti, but many other countries, I have decided and felt called to have our family donate to Compassion's Haiti relief fund.

How Compassion's funds will be used: All funds raised in response to the Haiti earthquake will be used immediately to provide for Compassion-assisted children and families affected by this crisis. Any funds raised in excess will be stewarded by Compassion for additional and future disaster relief efforts.

Today, through Sunday, for every comment left on this post we will donate $1. So in the case that you've never left a comment, here's your chance for a good cause to speak up.

*A donor that would like to remain anonymous has also come forward and offered to match our donation. So for every comment, $2 will be donated to Compassion International's Haiti relief fund. $1 from my family and $1 from this donor.*

If you are interested in matching, please email me. If you're considering making a donation or seeking a way to help the people of Haiti, please consider Compassion.
