Haiti Relief via Konbit Sante (and me and you)

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Haiti is still hurting.

Let’s help. Purchase anything from my etsy shop and I will donate half of the sale price to Konbit Sante|Cap-Haitian Health Partnership. Free shipping too! So far, my etsy shop has raised over $125! Hurry though, my small relief campaign will run through Tuesday, February 2!

Konbit is Haitian Creole for working together. Sante means health. I though it would be great if you and I did a little konbit of our own, hence the sale in my etsy shop. These folks have been working in Haiti for 10 years and have systems in place to get help where it needs to go, fast. Visit their website for news and to find out how your donations are being spent.

There are lots of other things you may find in the shop or may consider as a gift for a upcoming wedding, anniversary or birthday!

And, if you can’t find anything in my store, check out all the other talented and generous creative souls at etsy who are also finding ways to help Haiti.

Thank You! Thank You!

Pass the word. Pass the love. Buy good, do good.

Haiti Earthquake Relief: The Creative Community Steps Up

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

…so many miles away in a country few get to see. Images stream in from news sources and they are devastating. Their stories break the heart. How can one stand idly by in the face of such human suffering?

Are you ready to help? I am. Here are two ways to support the relief efforts in Haiti and give a nod to artists trying to make the world a better place in the best way they know how.

1) I have suspended shipping fees in my etsy shop and will donate half of every sale to Konbit Sante | Cap-Haitien Health Partnership until Tuesday, February 2.

2) You’ll also find my best selling item here at Craft Hope for Haiti along with over one hundred other donated crafts and art pieces. All proceeds (besides shipping and etsy fees) are donated to Doctors Without Borders.

Be generous if you are able, if not, please say a little prayer and send some love their way. It is the least we can do. Thank you.
