Dear [banking organisation], We are writing to you at a time when one of the biggest humanitarian disasters to touch the modern world is shaking Haiti. Thousands of families are losing their loved ones and their livelihoods- the death toll has reached 100,000 at time of writing. Your employees are fortunate enough to make a lot of money through their jobs and, while we realise that the people of Haiti have no right to the money, it seems awful to allow so many to suffer when so many are rich and able to help. Therefore we respectfully ask high earning employees of [banking organisation] to donate 2% of your next bonus to those suffering in Haiti. Yours,

The emails I receive from the bank remain cold and dismissive but I am continuing to push for a direct response. It is exhausting to watch the devastation in Haiti continue while those with the resources to help look the other way. I have not forgotten why I started this and I will keep fighting for this tiny fraction of a bonus.

Reaching this level of visibility feels heavy because the suffering in Haiti is not slowing down. I am exhausted by the silence from the leadership offices but seeing this many people join the push gives me the fuel to keep knocking on their doors.
