Do Something: Haiti Earthquake Relief

As you all know an earthquake with a magnitude of 7 hit the island of Haiti on Tuesday. As some of my mentees & students are Haitian I've been spending the week helping them cope, get in touch with family and just deal with the thoughts that I can't even begin to imagine are going on in their heads.

These are the times when I use this platform to talk about things besides what to wear, as people in Haiti are clinging to life and still in shock. Haiti is in a terrible position right now and I urge you all to give what you can to support the relief efforts. This is the time when we get past "What Can I Do?" and you actually "Do Something".

Google has a really comprehensive page with links to different causes you can give to here. In addition some stores & designers are giving a portion of their proceeds to the relief...

CafePress



proceeds go to U.S Fund for UNICEF

MonifC
If you want to send packages or money with Monif C. please leave a comment on her blog and send an email to info@monifc.com.

L'elephant Rose



For every item sold a portion of the proceeds will go to Yele (Wyclef Jean's organization).


Direct Donations can be given to :
Yele
Red Cross
Hope for Haiti


If you know of any other designers, shops, etc that are helping to support relief efforts please let me know and I'll post them up as well.
