to haiti with love: messages of hope

As I write this, the people of St. Joseph's find their new path. They're clearing and planning and feeding and rebuilding, safe and settled in temporary shelter. Surrounding them on all fronts is loss and yet there is still friendship, and spirit. There was art here. There was music, and drumming, and dancing. There will be again.

Messages are getting through as well as hope. What do you wish for them? What made you donate? What made you bid? How did you feel when you first heard the news?

What is your hope for Haiti?

Please click through to the To Haiti With Love site to leave your message for the people of St. Joseph's. They're very busy, as are all the Canadians and Americans that work tirelessly to get them the resources they need. But your kindness gets through.

And thank you so much for one of the most incredible, gratifying weeks ever. You -- your contributions of art, and your bids -- made hope real.
