Our Hearts Are with Haiti: Offer a Hand to Help

2010

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 received my wristlets and they are awesome. Absolutely beautiful! I've been showing them to friends and telling them about Dsenyo! Thank you so much. I know my sister-in-law will love it! I've made the "holiday pattern" my new bag to carry with me when we go to dinner while I'm on the job. I can't wait to send more flight attendants your way! It's perfect.
