Hurricane Relief for Girls in Haiti
Donation protected
My name is Daniella Biffi, I’m a South Florida resident that was one of many who got very lucky that Hurricane Matthew missed us. After seeing the devastation in Haiti, a country which is already going through some very tough times, I decided to bring together local businesses and members of the community to donate their time and products to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Matthew at a local bake sale taking place on October 22nd at the Coconut Grove Farmer’s Market. For those of you who won’t be able to make it (or are on a diet) we created this page.
Women and girls are particularly vulnerable in the developing world when there’s a crisis situation like a natural disaster. I wanted to focus my efforts in helping them deal with Hurricane Matthew’s devastation with dignity.
Every last penny we donate will go to Heart to Heart International , who’s PowrServ program helps women and girls by donating ''Women’s Hygiene Kits." This organization is recognized for it’s dedication to strengthening communities by improving health access, humanitarian development and administering crisis relief worldwide. This charity ranks amongst the highest on the Charity Navigator website .
Each women's kit brings:
2 pairs of underwear, 2 reusable menstrual pads, washbowl, 2 bars of soap, 4 condoms, a whistle, crank flashlight, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, band-aids, hand towel, wash cloth, nail clippers and the following educational materials: Menstrual Health, Stay Safe Use a Condom, Pad Use/Care, Stay Healthy Wash Your Hands.
The kits cost $20 each and are invaluable to these girls. Our goal is to raise enough money to provide 100 kits to the women and girls of Haiti.
A special thank you to our bake sale sponsors: Simple Fly Creative, Bunnie Cakes, Contenti Cupcakes, Mmmm Cupcakes, Lola the Baker, Pollen Theory, Elizabeth from the Coconut Grove Farmer's Market, Diego Texera Photography, and our amateur bakers :)
