I imagine you have been as glued to the news as I have the past few days, seeing the horrific aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti and the heroic relief efforts that are under way.

At times like these, we are galvanized to offer help. Especially when we are being told that the need for financial donations is high. But at the same time, I know many of you are very concerned about your own financial earthquakes that you've recently been through.

You believe you can't really afford to give, but deep down, you know that you can't afford not to give, either. So what to do?

Recognize that what you give is not as important as simply giving something.

Yes, the estimates of the amount of aid needed to help the Haitians are huge. But that doesn't mean your donation needs to be huge.

If your budget is tight, give what you can. If $10 is what you know you can honestly afford, then $10 is the right and honorable amount for you to donate. (You can text "Haiti" to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross International Response Fund.)

But here is the point: Do not feel you cannot do much, and what you can give doesn't matter. It matters big-time. I have to tell you, a family whose members are financially struggling but manage to find $10 to donate is more charitable, in my opinion, than well-to-do families that send in $50 or $100 when they really could easily afford to send in $5,000 or $10,000 or more.

Families are also losing their homes at a staggering rate. Each day, another 10,000 homes are foreclosed, forcing families to turn to shelters filled to capacity. Left with no place else to go, some people are putting makeshift roofs over their heads in tent cities.

As the crisis continues, it's easy to let fear take over - but it doesn't have to. Orman's five-step plan can help you rise above and take control. "There's only one person that's going to save you right now, and that's yourself," she says. "You have got to get on what I'm calling the 'save yourself movement.' Each and every one of you has to have your own personal financial stimulus action plan."

In this environment, just hoping you will be spared is not the right action. You must take active steps today to make sure your family is safe no matter what happens jobwise in 2009. That means making sure you’re saving to pay the bills instead of runing up credit card debt or raiding your retirement accounts. It also means having health insurance no matter what and a game for landing your next job.
