YORBA LINDA, Calif., Feb. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- As loved ones prepare to make grand gestures of love this Valentine's Day, one ministry is showcasing a gesture that is unimaginable to many - rings donated by couples in acts of radical generosity. With This Ring, a ministry that helps people give radically and grow in generosity, launched their Valentine's Day Ring auction where rings donated by couples will be sold to those seeking to participate in the cause by purchasing them.

According to Ali Eastburn, founder of With This Ring, "Each person who gave their treasured ring and each person who honors that gift by purchasing one can be confident that their radical gifts will be put to good use rebuilding wells destroyed by the earthquake in Haiti. Just $3000.00 will help us partner with Living Water International to rebuild a well in a community that is in great need."

The auction will be open until February 9 and can be accessed at www.withthisring.cmarket.com.

"We need to respond radically to this tragedy by loving strangers. Buying a ring at this auction is a wonderful way for people to make a grand gesture of love to people who have lost everything--including clean water," said Eastburn.

People are encouraged to share their own story of making grand gestures on the With This Ring blog at http://withthisring.wordpress.com and also to consider purchasing a ring as an act of radical generosity for their loved one and the people of Haiti.

With This Ring was founded two years ago by Ali Eastburn. Since then, she says, "I've seen an astonishing wave of generosity. Men and women are truly changing the world through acts of radical giving." Through Living Water the charity has provided clean water to over 20,000 people in Africa, helping villages to eliminate many of the illnesses and problems caused by a lack of clean drinking water. The money from this auction will go to refurbish wells in Haiti after the earthquake destroyed so many water supplies. For more information visit www.withthisring.org.
