The idea is to copy/paste then POST this entry at whatever other RPs you're in: Often people will do nothing because they do not know where to start, or because they have to go looking to find out how, and finding answers is not always easy. So: If you post this simple note to every RPG you're in maybe it will inspire others to donate— time, money, blood, food, whatever they can. As communities, we can come together to help in ways that a single individual cannot. Want to help? Here are the links: The Red Cross is your best bet, for donations. Texting to raise money: Simply text to the number, and ten dollars will be tacked on to your next phone bill. Those ten dollars go to the relief fund. Also: Congresswoman Betsy Markey is asking America's credit card companies to waive their 3% transaction fees on donations headed to relief organizations working with Haiti. If you want to join this effort, call your credit card company (unless you have Capitol One - they already do this) and ask them to waive their fees and ensure all the donated money goes directly to the people who need it.All you gotta do is copy/paste this message into a post to your other RPs— including the parts about passing it on!

What happens if I don't happen to be American?
I suppose I did donate $5 to those people collecting on the streets today though.

The thought is there, and you donated some money when other people wouldn't have the time of day to even care about what happened in Haiti. I myself am considering donating blood, I just hope I won't pass out.
