By now I'm sure you all have heard about the horribly devastating earthquake in Haiti and I'm also sure that like me you feel so heartbroken and helpless in face of the suffering of the Haitian people. Nothing will bring back those who perished, but the survivors need our help. From all the reports I've read, the biggest need in Haiti is just for basic relief and supplies...food, water, shelter, medical supplies. That's why I've decided to coordinate a fundraiser for the Haitian people with 100% of the proceeds to go to the Red Cross International Response Fund. The Red Cross has been helping those in need since 1881 and they have already pledged an initial 1 million towards Haiti Relief, let's help them give more. |

The fundraiser has ended! Thank you to all the indie shops that donated items and to all the folks who bid on them! Total Amount Raised $2032! |

I am waiting for all the bids to be paid and go through Paypal and then I will be donating 100% of the proceeds to the Red Cross International Response Fund. I will pay all the Paypal fees myself...so if you bid $50 for an item, $50 will be donated to the Red Cross. I will also be sharing a copy of the Red Cross donation notice on Indie Fixx and will email all the auction winners a copy as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. |

Here's a list of all the generous shops that donated goods for the auction.
