Help Needed

    OK so here I go:

    We need to help those poor people who have lost so much with this natural disaster, this tidal wave.

    Before you all go,

    Oh, come on, it will be handled by the governments, just think - they think the same way - they think just like you and I, that someone else will help and it does not need me.

    But that is why it does need you - because they are just people and think the same way!

    So here we are, very able people, snuggily in our Christmas/New Year routine.

    People, I am asking you, highly educated, internet savvy people, to donate to this fund that I have set up:

    There is no amount too little.......

    DigitalPoint Tsunami Disaster Donation

    Please give for 2005 :)

    Fantastic idea Foxy, it is a sad thing to see, sort of like the end of the world is near, I will get something in ASAP.

    It is noble to help those who can not help themselves, Godspeed with this.

    There can not be much Twister, he just started the thread today!

    I think you can donate a dollar or a million dollars, no fixed amount.

    Foxy can be trusted to follow through with this.

    Just give what you can to help out, I am sure most members will :)

    I donated $5. I would donate more, but the end of the year is a scary time for Vicious vs. The IRS ;). Good luck with the fund!

    I have already donated to the oxfam link on googles Tsunami page and I suggest others do, just thought I might point it out because paypal takes a percentage and we want as much to go to the fund as possible.

    Foxy, maybe you could send an email to paypal mentioning that its a Tsunami fund raiser and see if they will withdraw all charges.

    That should not be a factor, PayPay only takes 2% or something, if you give to some charitable organizations their managements take much more for operations and payroll.

    The question you should ask is where the funds will be sent after collected if you are worried.
