Help Me Help Haiti Quake Victims! Donating Half my Profits!! by Victoria DeMore

Posted on January 14, 2010

BUY ART. SUPPORT THE VICTIMS OF THE HAITI EARTHQUAKE.

From today (January 14th) until Feb 14th (1 month), I will donate HALF my profit from ANY SALE of my work on Redbubble. Take a look through my work. You can buy cards, various prints, framed prints, canvas, posters, and t-shirts just to name a few. The more you spend, the more I donate.

I will donate half of whatever Redbubble gives me for the sale to the American Red Cross’s Haiti Relief and Development Fund (http://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pa...).

The donation will be made February 15th unless there is an overwhelming response, in which I will donate regularly throughout this month timeframe. I will notify you all as donations are made.

Get buying, get art while helping the victims of the January 12th earthquake.

As I make sales, I will update this journal entry so you all can track the amount. I will also do screenshots when I make donations and I will post those (barring any confidential credit card or financial info). The webpage I provided above is the actual American Red Cross website I will make donations through.

Help me to help others. I would go and do my bit helping out, but as a graduating senior this year, it is just not possible, so I’m trying to use my skills as a photographer and artist to provide aide.

    I feel like I need to do something. I wish I could physically be there, but that’s just not possible. So I’m going to do what I can. I already have 3-4 bags of old clothes & shoes I was going to be taking to Goodwill soon, so I think 1 or 2 are going to go to Haiti once I see where I need to take them for that. Already sold a large laminated print :-) Will be updating this post soon so it looks nicer. I have a much nicer blog entry on my website about my plans. Thanks so much for the comment and support Rosie!! I just hope this will help ♥
