Ribbons for Haiti

Carmella Mae Dunkin
Haiti is in great need of as much help as they can get, so our family is creating awareness ribbons to sell to raise much needed funds to send to Haiti. These ribbons are made with red cloth, for Haiti, a black satin ribbon on top the red, this is for the mourning we all feel for Haiti and behind the red cloth is a silver organza ribbon, for the hope that the aftershocks will end, more people will be found alive and that as many people who can help out, do help out as much as possible with what one reporter called, an "apoptolictic quake" that has devastated millions of people and may have killed as many as 200,000 people!

You too can help Haiti by placing an order for one of the beautifully hand crafted awareness ribbons shown here. We have three different ribbons to choose from. Ribbon with cross in center, ribbon with heart in center, or ribbon with heart and cross in center. Each ribbon comes with a pin to attach the ribbon to your jacket lapel, shirt, purse, whatever you wish to attach your ribbon to in order to show your awareness and help to the Haitian people.

Ribbons are approximately 2 1/2" high, and 1 1/2" wide at the bottom.

Ribbons are $2.50 each, plus $2.50 shipping on first ribbon, multiple ribbons can be shipped for the same $2.50 fee, therefore, shipping charges only apply to the first ribbon, all additional ribbons ship free in the same padded envelope! Payment payable via Paypal.

The author and her husband are both disabled and on a limited income, but they both want to help as much as they possibly can, so they are putting their talents to work, creating awareness ribbons to draw awareness to Haiti. They will be donating ALL profits from the sales of the "Ribbons For Haiti" and will be sending all money to a reputable charity for Haiti. As of this writing, the charity has not been chosen, but the authur, would like suggestions from her readings on a good charity that is trust worthy to send all moneys where they need to go. During the September 11, efforts, The Red Cross was doing things that were not up to par. The writer and her family wants to be sure everything they send, is sent through a charity that will not do what was done during the September 11, clean up efforts.

Thank you to all who read this and God Bless you all!

    Good observations on trustworthy charities. I like Marc's suggestion.

    That is exactly my fears! However, you've given a good one for me to look into, the Haitian Health Foundation, thank you! I will post what i learn about them as well as which organization we decide to go with.

    I just saw an O'Reilly Factor report on the unreliability of giving money to Haiti because of corruption and even lack of organization and accountability from some US charities and efforts! That's why, trusting O'Reilly's track record, if I'm considering giving money to Haiti, I'll only give my dough to places approved by O'Reilly like the Red Cross, the Haitian Health Foundation, etc..
