it is so amazing with our to see so much aid to haiti with all our technology today. through twitter, facebook, and texting: people are raising money worldwide for relief. as the world gathers together to support haiti, our blog community is also doing what they can. here are a few links and articles i've come across worth passing along.

some of us may not be able to give due to life circumstances. if you aren't at a place to give financially, you can simply comment on this post. for every comment posted: i will donate $1 dollar on behalf of readers of oh, hello friend.

the organization i've chosen is world vision, they provide aid worldwide and i've sponsored a child through them for many years. "World Vision plans to begin assessing damage and preparing a relief response today after the major earthquake that hit Haiti Tuesday. Their team has worked in Haiti for 30 years and has some 370 staff members in the country."
