128.

Thank you to everyone who left a comment on my pact to donate $.25 for every comment left to support Haiti!

128 comments x 25 cents = $32.00

I'm not satisfied, so I am donating $32.00 for every person in my family.

$32.00 x 5 = $160.00

I have decided to donate to Plane to Haiti, which is an urgent humanitarian mission through The Wheelchair Foundation. This mission will serve the devastated people of Haiti to provide over three tons of medical supplies, doctors, and medical staff. The main focus thus far has been to send wheelchairs, as the requests have been steady, and rescue efforts and triage of the wounded are revealing a huge need for assistance for those injured in the Haitian Earthquake of January 12th, 2010.

In order to ship and distribute one wheelchair, $150 in donations must be received. So ... we did it ... we have enough to purchase one wheelchair! In fact, the donation has already been made!

Thank you everyone!

  1. That's awesome!!! Go Bethany!! My dad left for Haiti today to help with medical care. He's going with TX Ortho...a couple of people donated use of their private jets and pilots to get some medical people and supplies out there, so he's there for a week.

  3. Woo-hoo! We donated to an orphanage named after my friend's mom. House of Hope/Patti's School. Loved this idea of giving a certain amount per comment!

  4. Hey Bethany! I haven't been keeping up with blogs for awhile and I just can't get over the beautiful pictures of your family. I wanted to make sure my comment earned the 25 cents for Haiti, but it looks like you've already donated way more than that. Kimberly
