Konbit Shelter : Blog

Someone just asked an anonymous question on our blog, about whether or not we were still in need of funding while we are here in Haiti.

Here is what we have to say about that: Why yes, funny you should ask! We are currently in a month long battle with Paypal over some bank account confusion, and they are withholding almost $5,000 that we raised back in June. We are still working to get that rectified, but they are being mercilessly slow. So, here we are in Haiti, about to go flat broke and be in big trouble when we can no longer buy supplies or pay the 30 plus people we have hired.

Would you like to help?

There are a few ways to do that. First, we have a small series of signed Swoon prints that are being sold for $350 each. All proceeds go directly toward our materials, wages for the Haitian workers, and crew lunches. Alternately, we have a donate button on our site, through which you can contribute any amount. Ironically, both of these are run through Paypal (although this time the funds will reach us). And all donations are 501 (c)3 Tax Deductible by our umbrella Non-Profit, Artistic Evolution.

Thanks to everyone who is looking out. We are so so close.
