On Tuesday, January 12th, a magnitude 7 earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Three million people were affected in what has been called the small country's biggest natural disaster in 250 years. The death toll is still unknown but is estimated to be in the tens of thousands. As the country scrambles to find its footing, a handful of American designers are creating items or contributing a portion of their sales to relief funds:
Etsy shop Peace Images...
...is donating a percentage of all sales this week to Wyclef's foundation, Yele.

“Leroy Tomba, We thank your WHITE ancestors for first enslaving our black ancestors and for bring them to Haiti in the first place. You did a great job.” (If you’re not sure this is sarcasm, idiot)
As Msees stated shut up and help.
