Our Hearts Are with Haiti: Offer a Hand to Help

Our Hearts Are with Haiti: Offer a Hand to Help

I started sponsoring a child from Haiti with Compassion International as a young college student.  Ever since then, Haiti has always held a special place in my heart.  Today, with news of an earthquake that has devestated the country, affecting at least 1 million people (1/3 of the country's population), I am saddenned.  It has been an upward battle for this poor, developing country, and just as they were making progress in areas like health and political stability, this is an incredibly huge setback to say the very least.  Right now Haiti is in crisis mode and the international community is acting quickly to provide assistance.  I urge you to conssider a donation to World Care which is active in relief efforts in Haiti. 

In addition, Dsenyo is donating 20% of online sales for the month of January to World Care for Haiti.  You can shop online at our Etsy store and we will donate 20% of your entire order.

I just wanted to say I received my wristlet and I love it!  I immediately dumped my old wallet and placed my possessions there.  My mom is a quilter and admired the craftsmanship as well as the beautiful materials used.   Thank you for donating this item to the Hearts for Haiti and your continued social and environmental commitment.  I will be back to purchase in your shop for a larger purchase for sure!>
