The third installment of the Jane Austen Maids (who probably received a pittance but then so are these charities) Foundation is actually a two parter. Before intermission was the second donation for January, and after intermission is the donation this week, both to hopeforhaiti.com.
There are plenty of aid organizations that are helping in Haiti right now, but a friend asked for donations to hopeforhaiti.com. I went to their website, and they actually have been involved in aid for Haiti before this latest tragedy, and evidently 95% of the donations get used for actual aid. So I donated. I'll be coming back to this charity in upcoming months also, since one problem with large catastrophes is that the aftereffects do not stop when all the media coverage stops.
This way of donating is working for me. I'm not stressed about not being able to donate, cuz I've beeen doing it all along, at an amount I can afford. I know it's not much, but at least I'm giving something. And I have all year to keep giving!
