We realized that our daily concerns and struggles are light years away from the despair and hopelessness that millions of Haitians feel right now. Having read some of the recent Haiti stories in the news, we decided that could do more than just pray for them.
WHAT:
"Tellez-Project Haiti" is nothing else than a campaign to motivate our colleagues, friends, and family to donate so that we can all provide a glimmer of hope to Haitians.
HOW:
We've studied the different vehicles to donate and suggest the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund for several reasons:
- They have ample expertise dealing with crises (i.e.: Katrina)
- It has the right size to make things happen bypassing red tape
- We believe it can offer a vision/framework on how to rebuild Haiti not just a vehicle for staple supplies and medicines.
MATCHING:
As a family including our daughters' allowance income we will be doing 1:1 matching with the first $600 that our friends/colleagues donate.
ANYTHING COUNTS (TAX DEDUCTIBLE):
We want our friends and family to contribute as much as they can. No matter how small your contribution, it will add up to reach our campaign goal. Remember that your contribution is tax deductible and do ask yourself, "Can I give more?"
Our objective is to motivate friends and family to donate a total of $10K by February 28, 2010 and will not stop pestering you until we do so :-).
