I wanted to let you know about a group called Craft Hope. Last week they put together an etsy shop to raise money for Doctors Without Borders in Haiti with 100% of the proceeds going to them. Crafters, such as myself and many many others have donated beautiful handmade items to the shop.
The best news is that people are shopping like crazy at this little etsy shop. So far in TWO days they have raised $7,000 for Doctors Without Borders! Amazing! I am truly inspired by everyone who has donated, shopped and to the wonderful organizers of Craft Hope for putting it together.
Please, if you haven’t taken a peek at the goodies at the Craft Hope Etsy shop, check it out! They are listing new items everyday so there is always something new. Hooray for hope!
I was so happy to be able to help in my small way, and so happy about everyone’s response! $7000 in two days is so wonderful. The whole thing makes me weepy.
I didn’t know about this until now- thanks for sharing! The handmade community is so full of warmth and open arms! $7,000 is amazing!
yay! I love this initiative it’s so important and lovely.
thea.
