Thanks so much for your encouragement about the decision to go to Haiti to assist with relief efforts.\u00a0 What my friend, Eric Klein and his CAN DO team have been doing, is nothing short of\u00a0AMAZING.\u00a0 Check\u00a0it out on \u00a0<\/span><\/em>http:\/\/virtualvolunteer.tv\/<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Today I am going back for round two of shots & making final preparations to head to Haiti.\u00a0 Tomorrow I will be meeting up with fellow volunteers as we make our way to Port-au-Prince early Saturday morning.\u00a0 Many of you have been asking what you can do to help.\u00a0 There are many things, actually.\u00a0 One is simply keep the encouragement and love coming, on Facebook, via your comments here, and sharing our mission with others.\u00a0 <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The second is donations.\u00a0 Everyone keeps asking “how long will you be there”?\u00a0 I truly do not know at this point in time .. it literally will depend on donations to cover my hotel expenses while away.\u00a0 If you can spare even $5.00, it will help tremendously.\u00a0 Every penny donated to <\/span><\/em>https:\/\/secure.can-do.org\/<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0with “Robin Schmidt” in the comments, goes directly towards any costs I would incur.\u00a0 <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Some of you have said “I don’t want to donate through another organization, I want the money to go directly to YOU” or “I don’t care about the tax write-off” …\u00a0 You can donate through my website of <\/span><\/em>http:\/\/alwayssupportourheroes.com\/<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0… or the address below.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Others have said, “Robin, I want to donate to help relief efforts, not your costs”.\u00a0 That is AWESOME!\u00a0 Please know that Eric needs money for fuel (petrol) and to pay the locals to deliver items to the communities where no other organizations are distributing food and water.\u00a0 He is working diligently to make sure HUMAN BEINGS are protected from the weather.\u00a0 Shelter is needed .. the rainy season is nearly upon us.\u00a0 PLEASE donate (again, every penny matters) your coffee or tea money today … and help us to help others.\u00a0 <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

At least at <\/span><\/em>http:\/\/can-do.org\/<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0I can promise you that you will see where your money is directly going.\u00a0 Eric has brought accountability back into aiding in a disaster, and I hope each of you will make\u00a0the non profit organization that you donate to, ACCOUNTABLE.\u00a0 Do you know where your money is going?\u00a0 I hope in the next week to show you what one man and an entire team behind him is doing .. and how much each of us can do to make a difference.\u00a0 One person, and one life at a time.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for your support!\u00a0 By the way, God bless our troops .. and thank you for keeping me safe .. so I can make a global impact .. and for all you are sacrificing to make the world a better place.\u00a0 Thank you for your service and for the commitment your loved ones have made while you do so!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Always,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
