HOMAGE & DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS

Beginning January 14, $5.00 from every HOMAGE T-shirt purchased online will be donated to Doctors Without Borders to assist earthquake victims in Haiti.

With poverty, comes vulnerability. Haiti is considered the poorest country in the western hemisphere with nearly 80% of its population living on less than $2.00 per day.

Providing independent, impartial assistance to those most in need, Doctors Without Borders is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.

Currently, 800 Doctors Without Borders staff members are on the ground in Haiti, with more help expected to arrive shortly, including the installation of an inflatable hospital with operating capabilities.

We must mobilize now to help victims of the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck the country on Tuesday, January 12. With hundreds of thousands of people in desperate need, our response to this devastating tragedy must not be guided by political ideology, but, instead, an unwavering regard for the value of human life.
