<p>Two Etsy shops, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/crafthope" target="_blank">Craft Hope</a>, and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/heartsforhaiti" target="_blank">Hearts for Haiti</a>, are collecting donated items from other Etsy sellers.  The profits from both stores will be donated to <a href="http://doctorswithoutborders.org/" target="_blank">Doctors Without Borders</a>. Collectively, the shops have raised over $30,000.</p>
<p>If you would like to donate work to Craft Hope, according to the <a href="http://crafthope.com/" target="_blank">Craft Hope</a> blog post, <a href="http://crafthope.com/2010/01/state-of-hope/" target="_blank">State of Hope</a>, they have stopped taking donations for two weeks so that they can, &#8220;get a more formal system in place for accepting donations.&#8221;  If you would like to donate pieces to Hearts for Haiti, see the shop&#8217;s policies for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_policy.php?user_id=9030045" target="_blank">donation guidelines</a>.</p>
<p>What are other examples of how artists and craftspeople are raising money for relief organizations working in Haiti?</p>
