hats for haiti

we all have been shocked by the news of the devastating earthquake that rocked haiti last month. but how many of us have done anything about it? as the images and correspondence from the wreckage are slowly being replaced by winter olympics coverage, celebrity scandal and automobile recalls, it is easy to forget about the long road towards recovery the nation of haiti is still facing.

as i was fortunate enough to be sitting inside my warm house one cold winter evening, i got to thinking about how i wanted to do something to help the earthquake survivors and families of the victims. then, i caught a glimpse of my basket of yarn and crochet needles in the living room, and hats for haiti was born.

so. your head happens to be cold in this freakishly snowy winter we've been having. and it just so happens that i like to crochet. i will custom make a hat just for you. you send me a check for 12 dollars made out to the american red cross, and and additional three bucks (if you want) that can go towards the cost of supplies so i can keep the project going. so for fifteen dollars you get it all: you'll know your check will go to good use to help others, and you in turn get a boost of good karma, on top of a sweet warm hat for your head.

your donation will be sent immediately to the american red cross to aid their efforts in helping the haitians.

send me an email (mollyrue@gmail.com) specifying your color choice, name, and contact info. and then we can get started!

hats for haiti: get them while they're hot (and while it is still cold!!)
