Here's a worthy cause

Normally I don't pass posts asking for donations on, but in this case I'll definitely make an exception. Copied from Aurora, who posted plenty of good info.

Haiti is in dire straits right now. Port-au-Prince is nearly destroyed. Hospitals collapsed. Thousands trapped and maybe even over 100,000 dead.

For those of you wanting to do something, here's some links:

help_haiti has been formed as a place for fandomers to help raise money to help in the rescues, recoveries and rebuilding of Haiti following the tragic earthquake on January 12, 2010. (quoting the community's profile page)

I donated myself through http://www.mercycorps.org/give/otherways simply because they take paypal, and that's where my money is right now.

One may also donate ten dollars to the Red Cross effort by texting "haiti" to 90999, which is billed to your phone.
