Hearts For Haiti

Did you notice the link on the right at the top of this page??  Helping Haiti ~ Etsy Charity Shop Benefiting Doctors Without Borders

And all those fabulous items for sale?  They're doing wonderful work in this Etsy Shop!!  ALL of the merchandise in that shop has been donated by Etsy sellers to benefit the relief efforts of Doctors Without Borders as they deal with the horrid effects of that devastating earthquake. 

ALL of the money raised from that shop (less Etsy fees and PayPal fees) goes directly to Doctors Without Borders.  There is an 'army' of sellers who donate their time to 'man' the shop, 24/7.  They answer emails, post new items, process the orders, post in the forums and so very much more ... all without ANY compensation except the feeling of love in their hearts for helping those in need.


Please click on the link in the title of this posting ... read the shop announcement and you'll see as of today, we're rapidly closing in on donation totals of $30,000.00 !!  This is all since about the 14th of January.  Now how cool is that???  Browse through their vast array of items and know that your purchase will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.

I'm so very proud to be even a tiny, tiny part of this effort.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I did spend about five years with machine knitting. But when I bought my second loom (replacing my old one), I sold all my MK stuff to help pay for the loom. Occasionally I regret that, but I know I don't have time for everything I would like to do.......choices........sigh!
