It has been over two months since a massive earthquake decimated much of Port Au Prince, Haiti. I wanted to share an update on the way that you fine folks helped those affected by the earthquake. On January 13, we started selling cookies to collect money, and on January 17 we began to sell Help Haiti TShirts. Within 14 days we had sold over 150 cookies, and all of the 144 shirts that we had ordered. In addition to these two things, other people donated money to the Haiti Relief efforts.
The Final Total of all the money collected is: $1908.82. That’s incredible! This week, we sent that money to Compassion International‘s Haiti Earthquake Response Fund. According to their site, a donation of $500 provides “critical life items like temporary shelter, blankets and clothing for 10 families” and a donation of $1500 “helps to rebuild a home.” That means that by purchasing a cookie and a T-shirt, you were a part of rebuilding a home and providing critical life items to 10 families. There is still a great need in Haiti, but there are 10 families who are being taken care of because of your generosity.
Thank you for helping.
