Exclamation Haiti needs our help

Hello Everyone,

I've been watching the news, looking at the pictures of the disaster in Haiti. The numbers are staggering. Possibly 100,000 dead. Everything literally destroyed. They need our help.

I know a lot of you Lostpedians have already donated, but I want to ask those who haven't to chip in. Even donating a dollar or two adds up quickly.

You can donate in many ways:

1) American Red Cross - Be sure to select the Haiti Relief Effort. ($10 Minimum)

2) Save The Children (Haitian Relief Effort) (No minimum)

3) US Donors can donate $10 dollars at a time for the Haiti relief effort by texting the word HAITI to 90999 (A number setup by the American Red Cross)

4) If you don't have money to donate, you should consider donating blood to your local blood bank (they can always use more)

As a thank you for making a donation to one of the organizations above, I'm going to send one of you a Dharma Orientation Kit (S5 DVDs) (Thanks ABC!). Please make a donation and reply to this thread (one reply only please) before Feb 1, 2010. I'll take all the names that donate, put them in a hat, and draw a name. The winner will get the awesome DVD set.

I'm going to start things off by donating $200 to the Red Cross.

Thanks,
Kevin

I donated to the Red Cross! It's so important for us all to help out.

Thanks for setting this up, Admin!

Just got my Red Cross contribution in. Semi-altruistic urge satisfied.

I just sent the text message to donate. This is a great idea Admin, any little bit we can do to help is important, and we have a lot of people here.

There's already a thread for this.

Sorry, I had to. *snicker*

*Keeps Haiti in thoughts and prayers*

Edit to add: I totally donated.

Yeah but this one's made by Admin. That means the other one might as well be escorted behind the corner of a building and 'taken care of'.

That one is about talking about the situation...this one is about donating money--which is important enough to warrant its own thread (even if someone other than Admin had made it).

Please keep this thread clear of general discussion about the disaster in Haiti and OT talk and use it for the purpose that admin set it up for, that is Haiti donations.

If you want to discuss the tragedy in greater depth, you may still do so in the thread already dedicated to it. The Devastation In Haiti.

Thank you!

I'd donate if I had money, a credit card, or was over 18.

It annoys me that the amazon payment doesn't seem to let me use the money in my amazon account, we don't all have credit cards you know But anyway my mom and I are donating through Episcopal Relief & Development. I just wish I could do much more
