DONATE: HOPE FOR HAITI NOW

Published on January 23, 2010 in News. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

One of my New Year’s resolutions this year is to help more. I don’t think I’ve ever been very “socially responsible” – usually my donations go to building funds or temples. This year, I’ll try to help based on the immediacy of the situation. Hope For Haiti Now is a global benefit for earthquake relief. The Asian tsunami was devastating – I’m sure everyone from this part of the world will remember how bad it was. Some lost their families. Some lost their friends. Haiti is currently going through the same catastrophe. They need help.

You can donate any amount – USD$25, USD$50, USD$100, USD$250, USD$500 & USD$1000 (again and again as well) via this website. 100% of the funds raised will go towards relief efforts in Haiti and there are NO backend costs (according to the website). Bubster and I have donated – have you?

It’s never too late to do your part for humanity. 200,000 people may be dead. Many are desperate to find their loved ones in this state of devastation. Don’t be ignorant and start helping – every little bit counts. An initiative called Fashion Bloggers for Haiti – not really sure how it started – urges people to help through fashion. I’m IN FOR IT! It’s a good idea but you don’t need to shop to help. There are many ways to donate and here’s how you can do your part:

Yele Haiti

This Etsy owner is sending 25% of all her sales this week to Wyclef’s Yele Haiti foundation for Earthquake relief in Haiti. Next week, she’ll choose another organization. Buy her pretty accessories and do your part for Haiti.

haiti-stillerstrong

Stiller Strong
OK. You can have a stupid looking Stiller Strong headband by donating via his website to build a school in Ceverine for the Haitian children. 100% profits go to this foundation.

Fashion Philantrophy
100% of Profits (or 50% of revenue, whichever greater) is being donated from sales generated on this site until they reach their goal of a $500 donation.

UNICEF
Children are always the most vulnerable population in any natural disaster, and UNICEF is there for them. $50, $100, $250, $500 or any amount you can give will help save lives.

For a full list of foundations, please visit this link. Don’t think. Stop overanalyzing. That Louis Vuitton can wait – Haitians can’t. Be a little selfless and donate. Thank you for your attention.
