This morning I took a different approach to getting things done. No stressing. I’ve already checked a few things off my life list. I FINALLY mailed back my penpal @Hillzy. She wrote the first letter last year and it took me a new decade to get my act together.
She’s gonna be happy. I packed a giftbag including a creative letter and some goodies. I also mailed a package to my new BFF at Telus who’s sending me a new phone next week! Brought headphones today so I can hocus-focus and get lots checked off my list.
There’s lots happening in my little world of rainbows & unicorns but there’s real serious stuff happening in Haiti. I’ve seen heaps of Twitpics of disaster. I saw one this morning that was a childs head crushed between concrete and a fallen building. It was disgusting and sad. I don’t like seeing stuff like that but it’s amazing how social media has changed the way we receive information during crisis.
This photo is insane, look at ALL the houses brought to the ground.
These people really need our help. You can give $5 through SMS to the Salvation Army by texting Haiti at 45678 (Rogers, Bell, Telus). Money will go directly to the Salvation Army. Notable TV has set up a TO group for Wycelf’s YELE HAITI charity.
We’ve got a special MOD today on MuchMusic at 5pm. If you or someone you know has a connection to Haiti and might wanna be on webcam or come down for the show email me at work [email protected].
Thanks & have a great day.
I did the txt Yele to 501501 to make a $5 donation. Such devestation. It is fantastic that you are doing as much as you can to help get the word out. The pictures are difficult and have you realizing just how precious life is all the time.
Thanks for the great blog and how the heck can I get a bag of swag my dear?
Thanks sweetie! When I get some new swag I will ask for your address. You are MORE THAN deserving of a nice care package 🙂
This is wonderful… it's so easy to sit back with the desire to help, in the end many of us end up idle while doing nothing other than grieve for the suffering and devastation.
What you've done here is provide and easy avenue to make a token contribution for the greater good.
Thank you for the wonderful blog !
Thank you. Happy to have the ability to help spread awareness. Have a great day.
I happen to think the graphic images are a good thing. Not pleasant, no ma'am, but necessary. For most people, “earthquake” is an abstract term so being able to show just how devastating it really is, is instrumental. How many people can say they know how a Richter 7 temblor feels?
