Katrina - Donations and Offer

[Aylura]

I don't know how many of you have already helped those in the Southern States, or how many of you have sent your thoughts to the people there, but I felt like I needed to do something.

I urge you to donate what you can to the Red Cross -
www.redcross.org/

If you reply here with the amount you donated, with the charity link if it's not to the Red Cross, I'll draw you a Mini Fei'daqq. If you're not old enough to donate, ask your parents to help those in New Orleans and Mississippi. I don't care how much you donated - spare change counts. Anything helps. If you don't feel comfortable posting a dollar amount in public, PM me. If you've offered goods, or even some of your time, that counts too. So long as I know you've helped, I'll try to give you something.

I have no way of verifying your donation, so I'm just going to trust you. I don't know how long it'll take me to finish all of these, but I want to do something to encourage people to help. It is desperately needed.

I'm doing this because I don't feel like I've done enough to help. I don't think I can do enough, but I'm not going to give up. If I can encourage some people to donate, I've done more than just sit here at this computer screen and hope.

Thank you.

That's really generous of you! I donated to my school collection thing the other day (I think it was just $6 though), but obviously that was very unoffical.

[Aylura]

<3 Thanks! It's just so... unreal. Some of the places mentioned where roads that I've driven on, airports that I've flown through, cities that I've stayed in... It gives me chills.

Cel - It counts. You're on my list. Thank you for helping!

www.networkforgood.org/topics/animal_environ/hurricanes/?source=YAHOO&cmpgn=HMPG- Here's another place you can donate

I donated blood. Does that count?

[Cel Theory]

*huggles* Thank you so much. It's so kind of you to do this. I'll volenteer to do sketches if you get swamped down with too many people.

[Silvanon]

Conrad & I went to Best Buy yesterday, and they had a notice up that if you donate to the Red Cross there, they'll match your donation.

[lexington]

I donated my spare change yesterday when I went to Hy-vee. At every register they have Red Cross Katrina Relief donatation boxes and I put my quarters in it ^^;

[Aylura]

Lyza - Blood counts! I've added yah. (I forgot about blood/volunteering work. )

Silv - Awesome! I think AAA (The insurance company) will also match donations from members in certain areas.

Lex - Whoot! On the list. Thank you!

[Indi]

I donate a dollar or so a day in my school collection.....

[Aylura]

IndigoMoon - Listed Thank you

*sketches some more*

[Cel Theory]

Erm, do you want me to do some sketches later if you feel overwhelmed (up to you to decide when that point is)?

[Aylura]

oi. Sorry about not replying about that point, Cel. I am starting to feel like this is a lot to do. (In addition to moving into my apartment in a few weeks and the other full sized Fei'daqq from another draw - mm.) If you want to do sketches, it will be helpful and I'll be greatly thankful.
