Craft Hope for Haiti

More to Choose From
Twitter has been a great resource for finding artists, crafters and designers that are donating to Haiti.
If you use twitter, search #etsy4haiti or #hhh to connect with them
Just a couple that I found:
Enhabiten: donating $5 of every purchase (update: her husbands business is matching her donations, so in reality, it's $10 of every purchase).
Phydeaux: donating 100% of proceeds from her best selling knitting pattern.
Feel free to post others in the comments, and look through previous posts to find other artists that are donating!
Thank you!!

Off to a Good Start
Jen at Indie Fixx has organized the Haiti Relief Fundraiser. As a huge supporter, and promoter of Handmade, it is no surprise that Jen rose to the occasion and organized this event.
All goods have been donated by a group fo very generous indie crafters, designers and artists and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross International Response Fund.
Kudos, Jen!

Other ways you can connect with artists, crafters and designers that are donating:
Visit: Etsy.com and enter HHH in the search bar, and find many different, awesome items to choose from!
Here are some great finds!
Wendy at DesignsbyWendyT is generously donating 50% of proceeds on items tagged with HHH
Diana at dsbrennan is donating 50% of all sales (on all items in her shop!)
A special, extra thanks to Diana, for helping with this blog. Thanks Di!
As a friendly reminder, HHH is not responsible for collecting the money. Each donation, and it's follow through is the responsibility of the artist. Thank you!

You Can Help
Like many of you, I was heartbroken by the news of the recent, devastating earthquake in Haiti.
I've sat in front of the TV, with tears in my eyes, wondering what I could do to help. Sure, I could make a donation. But, I knew I could do more. For, I am part of a powerful movement.....the Handmade Movement. I am surrounded by artists, crafters and collectors that want to help.
With a little thought, HHH was born. It is intended to be a resource for you to find artists and crafters that are offering their support.
All of the artists participating have pledged to donate a portion, or all of their proceeds to the charity of their choice. Please note, it is up to the individual artist/crafter to follow through with their pledge. HHH is not responsible for making any donations.
So, how do you find the artists that are participating?
1. Check back here, as I will be adding links and posts about them
2. Visit Etsy.com and search for HHH in Tags/Titles
