Help other people: Haiti relief fundraisers and resources

Haiti fundraiser coordinated by Indie Fixx

Design above generously donated for the Indie Fixx fundraiser by Khristian Howell.

Here's our chance to step-up and make a difference! The number of people who have quickly responded to the Haiti earthquake is absolutely amazing!

Here are several fundraisers and resources (I will continue to add as I find them) around the country and online to keep you informed and make it easy to help.

Extraordinary ways to give now:

Indie Fixx: A silent auction of items have been donated by indie crafters, artists and designers. Each day a new batch of items will be shared on Indie Fixx that you can bid on via the comments. You will be able to see everyone's bids and rebid if you get outbid. The highest bidder will win the item and 100% of the proceeds goes to the Red Cross International Response Fund.

Shoebox 4 Haiti (in Atlanta): How simple is it, or will it be to pick things on our needs list, place them in any shoebox you have laying around the house (ladies don't act like you don't have an extra shoebox or two), and drop them off to us at any of our collection sites in Atlanta… On Sunday night we will load all supplies in a (hopefully HUGE) truck and Monday morning my wife and I will drive....Click here for a list of supplies they need.

Stand With Haiti

Partners In Health has been on the ground in Haiti for 20-years and the first to respond to the earthquake. Click the banner to donate!

Yele Haiti -- Sponsored by Haitian-born Wyclef Jean, Yele Haiti is accepting donations on their website. You can also donate $5 by texting "YELE" to 501501. The donation will be added to your cell phone bill. Over $1 million dollars already raised!
