Original Post
Hello! We've moved our ongoing thread to the Promo section so we can freely link to the new shop and items without fear of our thread being closed down.
This is an Etsy collective of donated items from hundreds of Etsy shops to raise money to rebuild Haiti. 100% of the proceeds from this shop (minus Etsy fees and Paypal fees) go directly to DoctorsWithoutBorders (link) in bi-monthly increments. This shop has permission to use the DoctorsWithoutBorders name and a separate bank account and Paypal account have been opened to maintain the integrity of this shop.
Items have been donated from many individual shops; each shop has included their particulars ( country, shipping time) in each listing. All items include seller-donated free shipping (most worldwide, see individual listing) because the need is SO great, we want you to buy and help support Etsians helping Haiti. The theme for the next few weeks is on heart items but we have more than just that. Please browse our sections to the right and know that your purchase in this shop not only gets you a great Etsy item but it also helps alleviate the needs in Haiti through donations to DoctorsWithoutBorders (MedicinesSansFrontiers (check myspelling here)).
Thank you for visiting. If you need help completing your purchase or want to pay with a credit card without joining Paypal, please read this link www.etsy.com/help_guide_checkout.php.
If you would like to donate an item to HeartsForHaiti.etsy.com, please send an email to etsyforhaiti [!at] gmail.com for a copy of the donation guidelines.
We can make a difference, together :)
