What happened in Haiti this past Tuesday is devestating. Watching the news every night is heart wrenching as I see pictures of children without their families and all the destruction that has taken place in this country.
After seeing what Ree and Alice did on their blogs, I was inspired to do something too. Because I am only 23, and have very little extra income my parents are helping me out on this one and we will be donating together! (they are amazing… I don’t know what I would do without them and all their support in everything I do) For every comment that is left on this post, we will donate 50 cents to Doctors without Borders. This charity is one of my favorites and I love what they do. (at one point in time… before I became obsessed with the kitchen… I was pre-med in college and always dreamed of working with Doctors without Borders in different countries)
So leave your warm wishes and prayers in the comments and then next Friday, my family and I will make a donation on behalf of everyone that commented and showed their support.
Haiti is going to need continuous support for a very long time. Once the news stops running these segments and the papers start to write about other happenings in the world, donations will still need to be made, so if you can’t afford to make a donation now maybe you will be able to help in the near future. Even the smallest amount could help in saving a life by getting clean water, bandages or basic food neccesities.
God bless you!!
I love Doctors without Borders too. Thanks for doing this.
Excellent idea! I, too, put a link on my blog when I donated to Red Cross. Thanks for doing this!
Very generous of you. Thanks for doing it.
Thanks for doing this. I donated through the American Jewish World Service and am glad that a comment here will lead to more donations for Haiti!
Wonderful idea!
[...] tried to focus on my family first, but I have also volunteered myself and commented on sites that are donating money for comments. I want to do more, and the road to recovery will be long, [...]
I’m really close to your age…and get a lot of help from my parents, too, so I hear you!

It’s terrifying what happened in Haiti. It is so great to have everyone pitch in and do what they can to help! Thanks for doing this, Gaby.
I almost went to pre-med to be a doctor so I can help make a change. Doctors Without Borders is one of the charities I support on a regular basis and I’m so glad you picked them!

Good work Gaby!
It is so devastating to watch, and now another quake. Although it looks impossible to fix from where we sit, the Haitians are resilient people and they will forge ahead, and they will need lots of help. Thank you for your pledge! xox Mary & Carter
I send my healing prayers and vision of peace to Haiti.
I was directed here from Corey of Watching the Waters. I am amazed by what you’re doing here and had to comment! Throw 50 cents in the bucket for my comment. Let’s all keep Haiti in our thoughts and prayers.
We send our love and healing thoughts to the people of Haiti and to those that, like you give from their hearts. Our local bakery is also donating all proceeds this Sunday to the Doctors without Borders.
I don’t remember if I commented, if I did, you can disregard, but I wanted to make sure it’s in there!
Gaby, what a great idea! Thank you
What a great way to make everyone feel apart! Thank you. Your recipes look yummy!
