Hearts for Haiti on Etsy

I just found this AWESOME etsy shop - a bunch of etsy-ers gathered to help a good cause. Make sure you check this shop out!!!

This is an Etsy collective of donated items from hundreds of Etsy shops to raise money to rebuild Haiti. 100% of the proceeds from this shop (minus Etsy fees and Paypal fees) go directly to DoctorsWithoutBorders (http://doctorswithoutborders.org ) in bi-monthly increments. This shop has permission to use the DoctorsWithoutBorders name and a separate bank account and Paypal account have been opened to maintain the integrity of this shop.

Items have been donated from many individual shops; each shop has included their particulars ( country, shipping time) in each listing. All items include seller-donated free shipping (most worldwide, see individual listing) because the need is SO great, we want you to buy and help support Etsians helping Haiti. The theme for the next few weeks is on heart items but we have more than just that. Please browse our sections to the right and know that your purchase in this shop not only gets you a great Etsy item but it also helps alleviate the needs in Haiti through donations to DoctorsWithoutBorders (MedicinesSansFrontiers ).

If you would like to donate an item to HeartsForHaiti.etsy.com, please send an email to etsyforhaiti [!at] gmail.com for a copy of the donation guidelines.

We can make a difference, together :)

Haiti Relief on Etsy

Little Hearts for Haiti by Floridity$13 - $10 will be donated to Doctors Without Borders to help with Haiti relief

Like people around the world, I've been thinking and praying for the people of Haiti. The photographs and stories on the news are just... unspeakable tragedies. There are no words. Today, I will be posting items on Etsy which are being sold to raise money for Haiti relief.

If you are a handmade seller, consider donating some of your profits to Haiti relief.

Hope for Gavin

Johwey Redington is asking for donations of handmade Christmas cards to benefit her nephew, Gavin. She writes on her blog,

This is a fundraiser for my 3-year old nephew, Gavin, who is battling Tay-Sachs Disease – an extremely rare genetic disorder (with no known cure) that progressively destroys the brain and nervous system. This fundraiser is made possible by all the generous people, from all over the world, who have donated their time, talent, and resources to make cards to be sold for Gavin’s benefit and to promote awareness regarding this very fatal disease whose victims are innocent and helpless children.

This is a very special way that crafters can come together to support each other during hard times. To pre-order your Christmas cards as a part of Hope for Gavin, click here. The photos above and below are images from Johwey's website illustrating the lovely cards people have handcrafted and donated. To donate handmade cards, click here.

Johwey, Gavin and your family will be in our prayers.

Etsy Treasures: Shop for a Cause

Created by cutesieclips

One of the joys of buying handmade products is the knowledge that each piece has been crafted with such care and passion by the artist. This week, I would like to highlight artists who are helping make the world a better place through their passion for creativity. Mahatma Gandhi is famous for saying,

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

By supporting individual artists and their charities of choice, you can be the change you wish to see in the world.


10% of the proceeds from this piece by ZephyrWoods will go to benefit KIVA. This organization manages micro-loans for third-world entrepreneurs, providing them with a means for supporting themselves and their families. These pendants are a fantastic way to make a difference in someone's life as well as looking stylish and chic.


This ACEO (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals) made by LissaLushHelpingCats All the profits from this Etsy shop go to The Tenth Life, a local no-kill, cats only shelter and adoption center. ACEO's are a great way to buy art originals or prints at an affordable price. Wonderful for art collectors or enthusiasts as well as cat lovers.


This little guy is named Sofie the Displaced and was created by threeredtrees. 10% of the proceeds from this cute original sock dog will go to the Animal Humane Society of Greater Kansas City. I fell in love with this sock dog as she comes complete with a breed (English Foxhound and argyle socks) and history.


This post would be completely remiss not to mention EtsyforCharity. This "shop" is a conglomerate of different artists who donate their work to be sold to raise money for charity. These delicate heart soaps were created by BathNBeads. Each month, the shop supports a different organization. Past charities have included Save the Children, American Heart Association, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and many others.

There are so many shops on Etsy that raise money for charities. Click here for more shopping for a cause!
