We have a friend from our town here who lives in Haiti as a missionary. Her Haitian home is in Carrefour, which was the epicenter of the earthquake. Through the mercy of Jesus, she has just made it to the States, though she has already made it clear that she is here with the intent of raising money to take back to Carrefour (pronounced car-foo). Because there isn't enough relief aid even for Port-au-Prince, Carrefour has not received any help.
Eli has started making cards to sell to raise money for Lindsey and her friends in Haiti. Photos below show his sample; he is selling four cards for a suggested donation of $5. All donations will fully be given to Lindsey. Eli is donating the labor, and our family is donating the cost of supplies and shipping.
If we already know your address and you know ours, just leave a comment to order. However, if we don't have each other's information, you can email an order to indiansandpirates (at) gmail (dot) com. (Type it in normal format; the way you see it right now is just to help us avoid spam.) We will work out the details with you via email.

All sales have fine print, right? Here is ours:
Color and artistic medium vary. We do not operate a sweat shop in our home, so orders will be fulfilled in the order in which they are received and dependent on the five-year-old's energy level. We can vouch for the passion of the five-year-old artist, however, and guarantee that your order will be fulfilled.
