There’s nothing like receiving a hand-made card to lift your spirits, but it seems like those who actually take the time to make such an effort are far and few between. That’s not the case, though, with students from Convent of the Visitation School in Mendota Heights, Minnesota.

These creative kids crafted personal Valentines notes for children in Haiti with words of encouragement and hope. The effort was part of a kid-driven non-profit, known as “Kids to the Rescue (KTTR),” in order to raise money for victims of the country’s earthquake. Students sent their cards and donations via The Salvation Army.

Check out some of the great Valentines they made:

Supporters and friends of KTTR also helped ring bells at kettle locations placed at the entrances of the Metrodome during the Minnesota Vikings vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL football game.   This effort helped The Salvation Army raise over $7,500 for Haiti Disaster relief.   The KTTR website works like a forum to help spread the word, and connect people and ideas so Kids to the Rescue is able to continue to help other kids.
