Funding the mission: the thrift store model

Tim explains the domestic funding model: the 2012 soccer-shoe drive showed him free donations undercut Haitian livelihoods, so he sells donated goods in local thrift stores (Grimes, Spencer, plus froyo shops) with dignity of commerce, telling Haiti's story through the stores. The hosts discuss the Grimes store visit, the handmade jewelry, and the diaper-cutting parties that pay Haitian women sewing jobs.
