The Best $10 I Ever Spent
Friday, January 15. 2010
I just spent $10 and I'm thinking of spending more. What did I do? I sent $10 to the Haiti disaster relief fund. I know that it's not much, but it's all I can afford right now. Perhaps you can give $10 too. Just think, if my $10 and your $10 are added together, it can help save a life. $10 seems like a bargain for one human life doesn't it? You can help by texting "HAITI" to "90999" and your cell phone account will show the charge. If you'd prefer to donate online or you would like to donate more, please go to the American Red Cross website to make a donation.
Donating has it's privileges too! Airlines are now offering incentives for fliers to donate to the relief efforts for Haiti. American Airlines is offering its customers 250 to 500 bonus air miles for donations made to the American Red Cross. The number of free air miles depends on the amount of the donation. The Miles for Donations Program continues through February 28 on American's web site.
The United Airlines Foundation will match up to a total of $50,000 to the American Red Cross in donations made through their link. You can also donate miles if you'd prefer.
Take a minute to save a life. Oh, and for those of you thinking about your finances, your monetary donations are tax deductible.

I, too, am on a very limited budget, but plan on shifting that budget around this month in order to accommodate a ten or twenty dollar donation. I used to be somewhat addicted to charity (i.e. donating with a credit card...not my money to give), and had to cut myself off, but desperate times call for...umm...slight alterations to my budget.
