Today, I am grateful that I am in a position to help.
Today, I want to encourage you to pray about sending help to Haiti. The tragedy that the earthquake caused has pierced my heart and broke it into tiny little pieces. I cannot participate in The Gratitude Challenge without the mention of this disaster and how we can all help.
If you are interested to donate, I highly encourage you to send your financial assistance to organizations that have already mobilized relief efforts. Here is a partial list of trusted organizations.
