I was going to send a por­tion of all sales to Haiti and give a spe­cial dis­count… the usual thing that comes to mind when a dis­as­ter hits and money needs to be raised.

But, I don’t want to profit at all. And you don’t need to buy lotion just so a por­tion goes to these poor des­per­ate people.

Instead of shak­ing your head and sigh­ing about the des­o­la­tion Haiti has suf­fered, Send Money. If you have food on the table. Send Money. If you have a warm bed. Send Money. If you even have a glass of clean water to drink. Send Money.

You have more than what 80% of the Hait­ian peo­ple have who live in poverty. And now they have less than nothing.

I will be giv­ing to the Red Cross. Won’t you join me?

Select the Inter­na­tional Response Fund. Even one dol­lar is more than most of these peo­ple have in their pocket.

UPDATE: I received this email let­ter from the Amer­i­can Red Cross…

Dear Jen­nifer,

Thank you so much for your gen­er­ous dona­tion to help the peo­ple of Haiti fol­low­ing Tuesday’s earthquake.

I wanted to share with you some pho­tos we’ve received from our staffers in Haiti, doc­u­ment­ing the sit­u­a­tion on the ground. The pho­tos help to bring home the mag­ni­tude of the tragedy, and the impor­tance of our ongo­ing sup­port of Haitians in this time of crisis.

As I write this, teams of Red Cross vol­un­teers, staffers, and dis­as­ter man­age­ment spe­cial­ists are assist­ing res­cue and relief oper­a­tions. Mas­sive ship­ments of sup­plies includ­ing tarps, cook­ing sets, and hygiene items are en route.

Our work is just begin­ning. Thank you again for mak­ing it pos­si­ble.
