Help for Haiti continues to pour in from all over the world including right here in Tucson. And it comes in all sizes.

Twin sisters Natalia and Sofia Jacobson wear twin t-shirts that say "I helped Haiti. Did You?"

In their own way the 10 year olds are double daring you to get involved in the relief effort.

Sofia says, "I just wanted to send a message to people saying I helped Haiti. What about you? Did you help Haiti? "

The fourth graders hope the message on their t-shirts will inspire you.

Natalia hopes, "It gives people an idea about what to do to help people's lives."

The girls got the idea to make and sell these t-shirts after watching the news.

Natalia says, "It's really sad to see all those children out there with no homes and no parents to help them."

Sofia says, "We have so much here in America. You should be glad that you have food when you want some. You know, when you want some water, you just get it right away."

Determined to make a difference, these sisters sold some of their clothes to raise money to buy and print t-shirts. Businesses helped with donations. And before they knew it, the girls had $200, which they donated to the Red Cross.

Then they got more shirts. Their goal is to sell 100 shirts for $10 donations.

Sofia says, "We're hoping to make $1,000" to give to the Red Cross for Haiti.
