Craft Hope for Haiti


Craft Hope for Haiti is another Etsy shop that is donating all proceeds to Doctors Without Borders. Countless Etsy sellers have banded together to donate their Handmade items to this shop.
To date, they have sold over 1300 items, and have raised over 10k.
Kudos!
Visit their website here
-----------------------
As always you can search Etsy and Twitter using the following terms to help you find artists that are donating:
hhh
etsy4haiti
haiti relief
I will be continually updating the list of Etsy sellers that are donating (on the right side of this blog), so be sure to check in often!
Thank you for continuing to support this effort!

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!

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

Help spread the word!

We have the ability to spread information quickly and easily. Please use these resources to get this going!
Twitter: use #hhh or #handmadehelpshaiti
Facebook
Your own blog, websites, etc.

There is power in numbers. Please help.

Thank you!
