thank you...

I was just conducting random searches since my office-job got very boring all of a sudden when I came accross this.

thank you for posting. I just donated a whopping $50 to Red Cross. (like that's going to do alot...but hey, it's what I had)

I hope this inspires other people to do the same. Thank you for caring...thank you for being idealistic enough to want to try to help. The world needs more people like you.

peace
Bethany

Don't belittle your contribution. Think about this: if just $10 were collected from every man, woman and child in America, in a country of 280 million, the pot would be $2.8 billion. Every little bit can definitely help.
