After the first earthquake hit, we wanted to act quickly to raise funds for disaster relief and rebuilding efforts in the Himalayan nation. On May 1st & 2nd, 100% of all online sales at iwantproof.com was donated to HELP International who had already started organizing aid for the devastation faced. Our customers came together from around the globe to support the relief efforts in Nepal. As a whole, we were able to donate over $6,000 which exceeded our expectations and reminded us that we're all global citizens who are willing to lend a helping hand in times of need. Our bird logo represents the belief, “Everyone has wings to fly, some just need a little help." Our customers who made purchases for this donation were just another example of this Do Good mantra.

“As night fell, aftershocks were still hitting, prompting waves of screaming. Many residents sat on roads for much of the day, afraid to go back indoors, and many insisted that they would spend the night outside despite the cold. Thousands camped out at the city’s parade ground. The city’s shops were running short of bottled water, dry food and telephone charge cards. Toward evening, hospitals were trying to accommodate a huge influx of patients, some with amputated limbs, and were running short of supplies like bandages and trauma kits. Water supplies, a problem under normal circumstances in this fast-growing city, will almost certainly run short, he said. Search and rescue personnel will face the challenge of reaching villages nearer the quake’s epicenter, about 50 miles northwest of Katmandu, where damage may be catastrophic.”
