Help Haiti

So here I sit in my cozy house, safe and sound with all four of my children sound asleep and toasty warm in their beds. I know that the people that mean the world to me are all accounted for. I know they're safe and fed. None of us are suffering. But I also know that this is so untrue for so many people in Haiti.....for most people in Haiti. And when you really sit down and think about it, when you really try to step into their shoes and outside of your safe place it's incredibly sad and horrific. I can't even begin to imagine what they must be going through. There are mothers there that love their children just as much as I love mine. But those same mothers have to sit back and watch their children suffer through pain, hunger and thirst but they don't have the resources to help them. I can't even begin to imagine what that's like.
So I decided that for the next 6 weeks, anyone that books a session with Michlynn Schweitzer Photography can help. I will donate 30% of your session fee to help with relief efforts in Haiti through the Canadian Red Cross. It's just a small way to help conquer such a huge problem.
