As I watch the devasting news of the horrible things going on in Haiti right now, my heart aches to be there to help those poor people. I feel so helpless not knowing how to help. My neighbor, who is a doctor, has been trying to go since the first earthquake happened but hasn't been able to find a way to get into Haiti. I have a jar full of pennies I have been saving for a rainy day that I can send, but I feel like that isn't enough. My husband would love to bring home several of the orphaned children. When I hear stories of the things these kids are going through, I think I would too, but how do you make it happen?
I made a You Tube video a few months ago when some people criticized me for sending some of the proceeds of my book, "The Power Of A Penny: The Priceless Journey Of One Penny," to Kenya to help with the people who are struggling there. In that video I asked the question, "What are you doing to make a change?" Right now I feel like a hypocrite because I am doing nothing to help the Haitian people. As I sit here in my nice warm house, with a belly full of food and a full cup of water, I try to push the images of the children in Haiti that have been shown on the news the last few days.
I guess I need to take my own advice from the You Tube video, " Don't just sit there, do something to make a difference!"
