I must say, I have been absolutely blown away by the selfless outpouring of support for the people of Haiti. This kind of overwhelming crisis really makes you step back, even in the midst of our own economic struggles, and realize how much we truly have when the Haitians have so little.
There are many ways to help, and even if you are struggling financially, you can donate simply by leaving comments on frugal blogs. Below is a list of ten blogs (though many more are doing the same) that are making donations based on the number of comments they receive. I hope you will visit them to show your support.
- Bargain Briana: Leave a comment by end of day today (1/15) and Briana will donate $.25 for every comment (up to $500) to Food for the Poor.
- Common Sense with Money: Leave a comment and Mercedes will donate $1 for every one (up to $500) to the American Red Cross.
- Coupon Geek: Leave a comment or post a link by Thursday (1/21) and Jaycie will donate $.50 for each (up to $500) to the Salvation Army Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.
- The Happy Housewife: Leave a comment or a blog post link and Toni will donate $1 for each one (up to $500) to the Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund within Sovereign Grace Ministries.
- Mommy Snacks: Leave a comment or a blog post link and Andrea will donate $1 for each one (up to $500) to relief efforts, split betweenSamaritan’s Purse and World Vision.
- Money Saving Mom: Leave a comment sharing what you have done to help those in Haiti by Thursday (1/21) and Crystal will donate $.30 for each one to Numana.
- Mrs. Moneysaver: Leave a comment or a blog post link by end of day on Thursday (1/21) and Dana will give $5 for each one (up to $350) to Compassion International.
- Saving with Shellie: Leave a comment or a blog post link by end of day today (1/15) and Shellie will donate $2 for each one to relief efforts, evenly split between Compassion International and the American Red Cross.
- Surviving the Stores: Leave a comment or a link to a blog post on what you are doing to help the Haitians and Rachel will donate $2 for each one (up to $500) to Compassion International.
- Thrifty NW Mom: Leave a comment by end of day on Monday (1/18) and Jen will donate $.50 for every comment (up to $200) to World Vision.
I’m jumping on this incredibly important bandwagon as well. I will donate $1 for every comment or blog post link left by end of day on Monday (up to $500) sharing how you personally are helping with Haiti relief efforts, whether it’s by sending a donation by text message (text HAITI to 90999 to donate $10), working with your church or going through your stockpile to donate much-needed supplies to those in Haiti. I plan to make my donation to Save the Children.
Thank you so much for taking the time to participate. Please keep the people of Haiti in your thoughts and prayers.

praying for haiti! donating to redcross
I don’t like the websites that say stuff like “For every person that clicks here, we’ll give a dollar to earthquake relief up to $500.” Either donate the sum of money to the Haiti relief or don’t, but marketing gimmics that require frivolous activity by consumers in order to raise money for a worthy philanthropic and humanitarian cause are in extreme poor taste, and are not in the true spirit of giving to those in desperate need.
Put yourself in their situation– would you want your monetary aid dependent on some nonsense activity by website users?
I agree with you this is not the time to depend on comments to make a donation this people need all our help and to wait on comments to see how much to donate IS in poor taste!

thank you.

I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it is about the individual but it can be with everyone. There are many ways to help, and even if you are struggling financially, you can donate simply by leaving comments on frugal blogs. Below is a list of ten blogs (though many more are doing the same) that are making donations based on the number of comments they receive. I hope you will visit them to show your support.
