Helpin’ Haiti

Friday, April 9th, 2010

A looooooooooong time ago I told my customers that 15% of my online sales for one week would go towards the relief effort in Haiti.  Well, they did.  And I just wanted to take this moment to say thank you.

Thanks to your generosity, I wrote a check to Mercy Corps last week for $100!  That could build one heck of a Hexayurt!

Or buy six comfort kits, which includes a blanket, sketchpad, crayons and toys, for children.

Or create a job for one Haitian for over a week.

So thanks for helping make this possible; b&i is humbled.

If you haven’t donated and you want to, there are so many many sites and ways you can donate.  I chose Mercy Corps because they’re headquartered locally and do good work.  Please consider donating if you have the resources.  The need is still so great.

Haiti is in serious need of our support.  Along with the world, Portland is extending a hand and I’d like to extend my own through betsy & iya.  I pledge to donate 15% of ALL online sales from today through January 21st to Haiti relief efforts.

and/or go here to find an organization with whom you would like to donate directly.

feel free to post this everywhere.
