“Men anpil chay pa lou”
(Translation: “Many Hands Make the Load Lighter”)

Threadless have come together to support sending relief to Haiti. They are donating 100% of proceeds of the sale of “Many Hands Make the Load Lighter” to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund (up to $100,000).

They reached out to Haiti’s neighbors and asked two of our designers from the Dominican Republic to design this tee, Thomas De Santis and Ivan Tarrazo Sanchez. They’ve declined their printing award and are instead giving it to the Red Cross. Shirts Our Business, one of the printers, has donated their printing time and ink. And everyone here has been rallying to get this tee out to retain focus on the relief effort. we hope you too, will send this along to your friends and fams to show your support!
