Help for Haiti Just Takes a Text Message

January 19th, 2010 -- Posted in Carbon Copy Pro, Charities I Support, Misc Ranting | No Comments »

Yesterday, Jay Kubassek of CarbonCopyPro sent me this message and video clip letting me know about a creative way the Red Cross has set up to donate easily to the Haiti relief fund.  All it takes is a text message from you…. it only costs $10, and it is charged to your cell bill.  How easy is that?  Please watch the video for more details.  Also, a BIG thank you to Jay & Aaron of Carbon Copy Pro – they donated $5000 to the support effort! These guys are amazing!

It just takes all of us making a little difference that will add up in a big way…. if you can, please help.

Until next time, J.
