have you donated to the red cross yet?
As of 10:30 this morning, only about 70,000 people had made donations on Amazon’s site. While the total amount donated is heartening, it could be so much more if everyone who shops at Amazon made a donation of some kind.
My kids each donated $10 of their holiday money—and watched as the donation counter went up after we submitted the payment.
If you’ve got an Amazon account, there’s no excuse for you not to use it to donate today. Look around at the relative riches you have. Can you really say that you don’t have $5, or $10, or more, to help?
Skip today’s latté, or the movie you were going to see, or fancy dinner you were going to treat yourself to. Use that money to help kids like the ones in these photos—who’ve lost their parents, who’ve lost their homes, who are at grave risk of death from diseases that will soon strike these devastated areas.
