Donate for Haiti Relief

I think like many of you I have been watching the devastating pictures and stories coming out of Haiti since the earthquake. Every time I see the face of a child I see my two children's faces. I wanted to do something to donate whatever I could. Monetarily I could not do much, but discovered that Paypal was connected to Save the Children Fund. So I was able to donate and decided that 20% of whatever sales I make on etsy will go to the Save the Children Fund.

I also created a bottlecap dedicated to Haiti relief as a statement/ encouragement for others to donate. I had never made magnets out of the bottlecaps before and decided to try that as well as a paperclip bookmark. I donated one each of these to the etsy store Hearts for Haiti ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartsforHaiti?ga_search_query=hearts&ga_search_type=seller_usernames ) where 100% of the sales go to Doctors without Borders and the sellers are donating all the fees as well as shipping.

My husband who has been to Haiti as a child was telling me how even $1 would go such a long way in this devastated country so I would encourage you all to donate that dollar you are going to use on a candy bar, coffee, mocha or a cigarette to one of the reputable charities.
