I’m Helping Haiti Too

You all know what’s happened, and what is happening, in Haiti. I am having a very difficult time grasping the tremendousness and breadth of the disaster and its aftermath, but I cannot give myself the luxury of the time it would take for me to really understand it.

So I am jumping in with both feet, and giving what little I can.

I don’t offer any digital products yet, so I can’t sell them to you and give all the proceeds to the Red Cross, which is what I desperately wish I could do. And I can’t sell any of my other services for free, because then my own family will have no food to eat or warm beds to sleep in.

This is what I can do:

If you buy coaching and consulting from me (more on what that is on the Services page), I will donate 80% of the cost to the Red Cross. My hourly coaching & consulting rate is $125, which means that $100 of each hour will go to help Haiti.

There are two good things that will happen here:

The first good thing is that together, you and I can help those people we cannot actually touch and hold and comfort and love in person.

The second good thing is that I can help you with your business, your thing, whatever it is; and the good things that will come from that are for the future, and could mean that in the near future, you will have even MORE resources to give when bad things happen.

If you want to take me up on this offer, email me right away so that I can invoice you, get your payment, and send money to the Red Cross as soon as humanly possible. You can use your hour (or hours) of coaching and consulting any time, and they aren’t going to expire.

And if you don’t need consulting or coaching, that is okay with me. I only offer because that is what I have to give. That, and my prayers and thoughts and heartfelt sorrow.

{EDITED TO ADD: I want to let you know that this offer is good until the end of January 2010 – any coaching & consulting bought before January 31st will send money to Haiti on your behalf.}

Well done, Rachael! Good job at looking at what you could do rather than what you couldn’t. And we’ll make up the rest as we go.

Thanks, my inspiring friend. I watched your video today about why you’re helping the way you are, and it made total sense to me.
