hand for Haiti
Several weeks ago I received an email from Lauren, blog owner of www.celiacteen.com. Here is a 16 year old young woman who has a very big heart. Feeling a sense of helplessness for the Haitians devastated by the earthquake, Lauren came up with the idea to create a recipe book full of recipes “that mean home to us” in order to raise money for the victims. Over 70 people heard the call. Over 90 recipes are included.
Lauren is Canadian, so all donations are going to the Canadian Red Cross. And amazingly enough, the Canadian government is matching ALL contributions through February 12, 2010. The book has only been for sale for 48 hours and already she’s raised close to $2800.
Lauren has more information about the book on her site. I, for one, am so honored to be a part of this effort. But, I am also very proud of Lauren for making such an impact for so many in need.
