“Hearts for Haiti”

In the aftermath of Haiti’s devastating Earthquake on January 12, 2010, the worst earthquake in 200 years, Etsy Shop members have formed a group to help this tragic cause!
Indiesmiles feels that this is not only a good cause, but a cause that is a “must”, we are 100% behind what everyone is doing at Etsy. “Hearts for Haiti” is so wonderful we wanted to make sure our readers were aware.
“Hearts for Haiti” is a special shop that has been set-up just to handle the donations. They are asking for “heart” related items, but it is not necessary. This shop is taking donations of art pieces and selling them to raise money to help with special needs in Haiti.
The proceeds of 100% will be going to “Doctors Without Borders”, excluding the Paypal and Etsy charges. These payments will go directly to them once a month.
If you have an Etsy shop you can donate one or more of your items.
Anyone can purchase beautiful handmade items (in their listings) knowing that your money is going to a great cause. Every little bit helps!
Please visit: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartsforHaiti to obtain donation information as well as viewing all the wonderful items that are available for purchase.
I’ve personally donated the little Jack Russell that you see in the header pic of this article. As of the publishing of this, the “Hearts for Haiti” shop has not yet gotten him in their inventory. If you are interested in purchasing it, you can keep checking. I’m sure he will be added soon!
Jack Russell certainly has a heart, how about you?
As quoted from this Etsy shop:
“We can make a difference, together”
