Hello Moms!

Like so many of us, it has been difficult for me to focus on business lately in light of the tragic hurricane. The stories that have been emerging in the media are just heart wrenching. It's times like this that I really wish I was rich and could do more!

After making my meager donation to the Red Cross, I assured myself that hundreds of thousands of other people will do the same and the money will be there to help the survivors heal and move forward.

But I just can't seem to shake the feeling that I'm not doing enough. Especially knowing that it isn't just immediate relief that is needed but ongoing support.

I realize there isn't much more I can contribute but I do have one thing of value and that is advertising space.

I've decided to place a banner rotation on the top of the FreelanceMom forum that is specifically dedicated to the hurricane victims. I'm not collecting donations, but rather encourage you to send me a copy of any receipt you get when you donate yourself along with a banner ad and your link url. I will add your banner to the rotation and will keep the rotation active for the next few months.

It doesn't matter how much you donate. Just that you've given.

If you need ideas on a decent organization to donate to you can visit Give.org.

Thanks,

Lori
