What a thoughtful thing you are doing, thank you so much for your generosity!
Stumbled upon your blog recently... love your stuff. What a great offer! Best of luck!
~Danica
Comment comment comment! What a fabulous idea . . . THANK YOU :)
Thank you--my prayers go out to everyone suffering and needing help an hope.
what a great idea danni!
We have a friend from our church who was there, and is still there .....but we didn't know he was alive and ok until yesterday......so thankful, but now praying he will be able to get out. The government did not let the first plane land today because of people swarming the planes and helicopters as they land....so we are praying he gets out tomorrow at 7 am.....
praying for all.....
Thinking of everyone in Haiti. This is a great thing you are doing. It's a human responsibility to help those in need. Too often we fail to do so.
Thank you.
Such a great idea, and a great bunch of links!
Thanks for doing this, Danni. I'll be praying for Haiti.
thank you for caring!
while the world gets plagued with illnesses, and wrecked with natural disasters. there's still hope. which every single one like you Danni, brings to us. :) Thank you.
thank you!
Happy to comment and support the cause.
Thank you for doing this! Oxfam Canada is also a wonderful organization that I will be supporting, and the Canadian government will be matching donations.
these links were really helpful! I've prayed and contributed to the cause and can't get Haiti off my mind.
thank you, danni!! as an employee of world vision, i can tell you that things have been intense and crazy in the office - but it's people like you who have helped us raise so much money in just a few short days - and you guys are the ones who continue to encourage us and keep us going. the work is just beginning...thanks for showing people in haiti that you care.
Very kind of you to make this gesture. It has been said "to whom much is given, much is required." Thank you for setting an example of living words into action.
Thank you, Danni, for your compassion and generosity.
haiti is definitely in my thoughts and prayers!
congrats on spreading the word for people to remember those who are less fortunate
GREAT!!!
THANK YOU!
May God be with the people in Haiti.
Let them feel He is there for them.
Mila.
You are being a blessing. Thank you.
My heart aches for all of those suffering in Haiti, as well as those who are suffering everywhere in the world. I hope that everyone in need can get the help they deserve. Thank you so much for donating in such a generous way.
May God help them.
you are so generous,
god bless.
What you're doing is wonderful. Thank you.
i'm going to check out the links, thanks for your generosity Danni!
Youre an inspiration.
You and Haiti's both are in my prayers.
thank you, thank you, thank you! world vision is an awesome organization! they're one of the orgs i donate 1/2 my photography proceeds to. bless you!
This is very kind of you, thanks so much for the oppertunity to help xox
Well done.
Thank you, thank you. xoxo
Thanks so much for doing this!
What a lovely thing to do! Thank you for doing this.
I've been thinking about this for three days, about posting something on my blog, but I can't figure out what is stopping me. I think I am just pondering what to write. I give through World Vision too. I just heard a story on the radio yesterday though that World Concern has been in Haiti for 40 years and theirs is only of the few buildings still standing after the earthquake. I think has something to do with doing God's work.
You are doing a great thing! I just stop in my tracks everytime I see something about Haiti.
Thanks for being willing to organize a donation.
this is so wonderful of you, danni! i wish i could give more, but i think it's great that you're doing this.
you are amazing danni, and i am so blessed to have you in my life. the recent tradgedy in haiti has really put my latest thoughts into perspective, and it makes me realize things are so much more worse out there in the world.
Thank you for doing this. Out of the 30+ blogs I read, you are the only one who has mentioned it rather than saying "Have a beautiful weekend!" There is a whole country who is having the darkest weekend of their existence. You are doing something with your platform, which is to be commended.
Thanks for your generosity!
Thanks for the ideas of ways to help, and thanks for donating on behalf of your readers.
God bless you and your kind heart!
I just read about another great project, Crafthope.com, that has set up an Etsy shop where one can donate a craft to be sold with 100% of the profit to go to Doctors without Borders to aid those in Haiti. I did a little post of it on my blog. A great way to give if your finances do not allow you to give monetarily. Thank you for your wonderful blog and for always spreading beauty, love, and kindness!
wow this is fantastic of you. i started a similar donation project (with granny squares) but doubt i'll get nearly as many hits as you!
I'd like to leave a comment in support for haiti. Thank you so much Danni! <3
i think it's wonderful what you are doing. Thank you!
For Haiti! You are loved.
Thanks for doing this Danni!
what a wonderful idea, truly! it is amazing to see how the blog community-- the social media community-- has come together to support those in desperate need. thank you for being a part of it, and for letting all of us be a part of it too. my thoughts and prayers go out to Haiti.
Thank you so much for giving.
What an amazing thing to do! thank you so much!
Thanks so much Danni...
how lovely. thank you for this wonderful "giveaway". and for your blog, it makes me smile.
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
The love you give becomes the only lasting treasure.

Hi Danni,
thank you for your blog and your support - helping us all feel we can do something to help. xx
beautiful images, i love it :)

thank you for giving me another opportunity to donate...
i love this idea. awesome.
I'm really glad you chose World Vision; our family really appreciates what they do! (we sponsor through Compassion though)
thanks for it, in Spain we are giving a lot of money and sending a lot of people to help, i hope they can be fine soon..
hi danni-
this is a wonderful thing you are doing! as i explained to my children what was going on in haiti and saw the fear in their eyes, i thought about how horrible it would be to see that fear every day.
i love that you are doing this. my husband has been to haiti many times doing missions work--and it just breaks our heart to see what the children and adults of haiti are enduring. the nation has already been so beaten and battered...it is almost unthinkable what life there must be like right now. :(

Bless you, Danni.
new to your blog. Thank you for helping. We're all feeling helpless.
what a great thing to do!
I can't even begin to imagine the heartache they're facing, and I certainly hope I never have to. My prayers are going their way.
I pray for hope. And peace.
Very generous Danni, Our thoughts are with everyone involved. Sxx
I came across your blog by chance...it is truly wonderful and inspirational! :-) I'm a Graphic Designer too. I've spent hours immersed in your site...you should write a book about your lovely life and your likes and loves! I'd spend hours immersed in that too! x
Thank you, thank you for such a beautiful idea. I'll be sharing your website on m'blog:

Very very cool Danni. I hope you will be blessed. Today I came across 1 John 3:17-18. It must be love, dear friend.
Thank you for your incredible generosity! Oh, and isn't Tina Crespo so talented & generous, too? I love her beautiful photos!
Wow, this is amazing, Danni! Thank you.
i wish i could give more--- <3
