Thursday Night Giveback
Tonight, rather than spend my money on crab claws or lobster tails or vanilla beans or porterhouse steaks, I’ll be donating the average amount of a Smackdown to Haitian earthquake relief, and I’ll add another dollar for everyone who comments on this post before Saturday at noon EST.
If you did the same on your blog – whatever you can afford, a dollar per comment, a quarter per comment, a dime per comment – we could really shake some shit up.

My prayers go out to everyone.
Now this makes the internet worthwhile! Great Idea. Don’t have a blog but I donated to Red Cross yest. Really a great idea.
I LOVE that you are giving up something to help others!!! My heart completely goes out to all the families in Haiti – we just visited the island in November when we were celebrating our 1 year Wedding Anniversary and it was truly humbling then…I can only imagine what it must be like now….I am sad for everyone there, but, am amazed at how much everyone is reaching out.
Thanks for your generosity – I posted a link on my blog to help spread the word.
What a creative and wonderful way to support the relief effort. Great thought!
My thoughts are with all the people in Haiti:)
What a blessing!

God Bless Haiti.

[...] a comment with The Pioneer Woman, Savory Sweet Life, Thursday Night Smackdown, or Saffron and Blueberry and the bloggers will donate money to various charity for each comment [...]
Great idea. If you haven’t decided on a charity yet, might I recommend World Vision? They have great resources across the world and are in great position to get aid out quickly to those in need. Plus, they’ve been in Haiti for 30 years and have a solid relationship with the people. We sponsor a little boy in Haiti through them, and we couldn’t be happier with how they manage our donation.
Thanks for the inspiration to be better than we normally are!
Thanks.
Many thanks to the bloggers who are supporting relief agencies.
Thank you for inspiring us all to be better.
My thanks also. So wonderful to see people come together and help in anyway they can to help those in need.

I will keep Haiti in my prayers.
