Help Create Sustainable Economic Growth in Haiti

If you're like me, by now you're probably a little tired of hearing about Haiti. I'm one of many people suffering from "donor fatigue."

However, this fund goes beyond the immediate need. It creates long-term economic growth through small loans to entrepreneurs. Many of these farmers & store owners lost everything in the earthquake. Imagine your own office, store, or restaurant completely destroyed, and NO INSURANCE to rebuild.

Our partner Fonkoze provided over 14,000 women with 0% interest loans following the 2008 hurricane in Haiti. By donating today, you can help entrepreneurs in Haiti get back on their feet.

My 26th Birthday Fundraiser

I'm committed to raising $26,000 for this cause. My goal is to do so in 26 days - by Feb 28. To show my commitment, I've personally donated 10% of my goal: $2,600 . Please join me.

In order to raise money, I'm holding multiple events, including a karaoke contest, photography show, and a triathlon. I care enough to pledge to run 26K and bike 26 miles. See more details & updates at: http://www.dcruzin.com

Full disclosure: I'm the newly hired Online Communications Officer for the Grameen Foundation. While this is a personal fundraiser, it's my job to raise money online. I care enough for this cause to have left my corporate job. Rest assured that as an employee, I will work hard to ensure your donation has real impact!

Please Spread the Word

Even if you can't give personally today, I implore you to pass this page on to your friends. The shortcut URL is: http://tinyurl.com/26k-for-haiti

I'd ask you to send it to 26 people, but instead, I'm only asking you to send it to 2.6 people, or 3 people if you round up :).
