Account_Deleted_T5M Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 My girlfriend of 8 years has a heart for helping people around the world wherever needed, and she is putting on an art show to raise $10,000 dollars to support the children of haiti that are without food and water, i am asking for help in a couple of ways. I.E $1.50 a day provides a child with 3 meals a day, a shelter and clothing a) If you are an artist, whether it be drawing, watercolor, oils, graphic design art etc, we would be a great help if you could come up with a piece of artwork, whether unframed or framed to donate towards the art show. I will cover shipping to the venue where it is being held. A small monetary donation of any amount you could give whether it be $.50 left in your paypal, to whatever you would feel to give. Here is the link to the website created by my girlfriend, and in association with Ed Lockett, a missionary in Haiti. ARTISTS FOR LESPWA Here is the direct link on the website to donate online ARTISTS FOR LEWSPA DONATION Note* Please contact me through PM if you wish to donate artwork, for paypal donation please put your VS id in the remarks box, so we can keep a record. Sincere thanks to all who have the heart to help Robert Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Chile is of more value to me, I enjoy their wines. I am actually concerned about the price of my favorite cab sav :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually concerned about the price of my favorite cab sav Precious. check out and see if the vineyards got whacked, then invest in wine futures of the best . shortage= price increase. Then any money you make, send a chunk to Haiti. I +1 you for your effort to provide relief. My art is done in crayon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I appreciated that. I'd post here too for tazzy. Natural disasters are not lotto tickets though. I am 100% on board for anything on earth we can do for rescue and medical effort. Food, and everything else not at all. They did not have food before why should they now. I'm just gonna say it. On the macro-scale the earthquake was the best thing to happen to Haiti in the last 400 years. Has your GF been to Haiti? I have. Fuck Haiti.

Both me and my girlfriend have been to Haiti twice but not in the past four years. The proceeds will be going towards rebuilding housing, and a school just outside of porta prince that was destroyed in the earthquake, and also food/clothing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops Racer Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 The problem with Haiti? Its an extension of African tribal economics. THey took all the aid for the last 40 yrs and bought hookers and blow. Not a piece of re-bar in sight. The money has the potential to be flushed down proverbial toilet. Again I commend your effort, but I fear you will be doing this again in a few years and nothing will change. Chile on the other hand, despite its rampant looting, had a plan, and a construction code, and a Democracy. People were financially and politically stable. The loss of life and destruction, even with quake 500 times stronger than Haiti's, was minuscule. I wish them well, I've made donations thru my church. By a tent, and a cooler. Send it direct , I guess, no cash to be "lost". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnloves850's Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Haiti was and definitely still is, and will always be, a 3rd world country... Edited that for ya. Those kids were famished long before any natural disaster. Just so you and your girlfriend can get off your morally righteous horse, and face reality.
