Its the Least We Can Do

I know we are all still reeling from the tragedy in Haiti this week.  Thousands of people's lives will be changed forever, and my heart goes out to those I know who were personally affected.  While we might feel helpless in situations like these, we can do a little.  There are a number of ways to donate via Red Cross.  I also found an interesting list of links to other organizations and artists in the handmade artsy community helping out, which I found on the wonderful PoppyTalk blog:

CBC News Canada has an extensive list of organizations accepting donations. Amy from Handmade Evolution told us about a link from CNN. Her shop Field Trip is giving 20% of all her profits to Unicef now until Jan. 21st. Natasha of Bubbo is giving 100% of her profits from her Valentine's prints here and here. Here is a list of all the Etsians offering sales (so great). Indie Fixx is holding a fundraiser. And Victoria of Sfgirlbybay is offering $5 to the Red Cross from every Keep Calm poster sale as well and published a list yesterday of others helping out it the handmade communtiy, read it here.
