Helping Hand

I have felt so helpless watching the news and seeing all the devastation in Haiti. What gets to me the most are the little children, their scared faces and vulnerable situation just breaks my heart.

I want to help, but I'm always a little hesitant to send money to charities, I've often heard that with some charities 50% + of the money goes to managing costs and very little money ends helping the needy.

I looked around and was so happy to find a small way to help, there is an organization called K.I.D.S Kids in Distressed Situations, Giving back in a brand new way. The great thing about this charity is that 97% of all donations go directly to children and families.*

I was able to send 24 of my dresses to them and they sent them to Haiti, it was so easy! You go on their site, tell them what you can donate and they tell you where to send it. They even give you their UPS account to ship the items if you don't have one or don't want to pay for shipping.

Here is their site if you want to help:
