Mini Links Post: Help for Haiti
Posted on | January 18, 2010 | No Comments
Extra edition this week.
Help_Haiti is a creative charity auction hosted on Livejournal and organized by private individuals in which you can purchase creative items – stories, art, crafts, whatever – but instead of sending the money to the artist you provide proof of having donated a given amount to one of the listed, trusted charities working on getting aid to Haiti. You can also offer your own art, words, knitwork, whatever, for the same cause. Auction closes on the 20th, so hurry up.
Of course you can just send money – a good list of charities is also up on the Help_Haiti journal here.
I feel like I have to mention this: over the weekend, the LJ communities ONTD_StarTrek and ONTD_AI – crazy macro-lovin’ communities for the Star Trek and American Idol fandoms - organized a competition on whose members donate more. To quote a GQMF: Best use ever of a petty internet rivalry.
I finish with a thought. Giving money doesn’t make you awesome. Actually being there, surviving and pulling people out of the rubble and getting them aid – that would make you awesome. But money helps.
