For this week, instead of featuring items from our Etsymom shops, I want to bring more awareness to this Etsy shop for a great cause, HeartsforHaiti. As you are probably all aware, a series of massive earthquakes devastated Haiti last week on January 12th, leaving millions of people injured, homeless and hungry. Not to mention thousands that have lost their loved ones. HeartsforHaiti is a shop that collects donated items from Etsy sellers with the goal to donate all proceeds (net Etsy and Paypal fees) to DoctorsWithoutBorders to help support the relief effort. You can read more about how the donation work at their website homepage and profile.
For the next few weeks, the organizer of this shop is asking for a "heart" theme product, but any Etsy approved item is welcomed.
Here are a few interesting items I found from HeartsforHaiti:
Two Hearts - necklace donated by Glasfaden
With Love - Beaded Bookmark donated by ChatonDesigns
Butterfly Heart Valentine Brooch donated by Clayshion
Perfect Together Valentine Note Card donated by DawnCorrespondence
Green Heart Button by Allaboutthebuttons 
Finally, this is the item that was donated by me, LOVE ACTUALLY. I hope this item will fly out of the shop very soon!I originally wanted to look for items donated by Etsymoms but it is very difficult to search through 500+ items. So if you have donated and would like the item to be featured here, please contact me directly at lilprincessbow@gmail.com or send me a convo via Etsy http://www.lilprincessbow.etsy.com/
Etsy stores united for a great cause, isn't this something we should share with everyone we know?

What a great idea to post about this! Thanks for continuing to post every week!
I'm so happy to see how well this program is doing on Etsy! It's great to see the Etsy community have such an overwhelming response to help with the tragedy in Haiti. I am so glad I am able to be involved and donate my items! thanks for showcasing my note card on here! it has sold 3 times!!
I am happy to report that my item was sold earlier today! Yay! I am donating another item. I hope that one will sell quickly also!
I was so glad to find this opportunity to donate. One of my necklaces has sold and I'm making more as I type - well, not exactly as I type, but you get it.
Thank you for this post. I have lust listed an item with them and hope it sells soon. Going to list some more too.
