This is topic Hatrack Gift to Aid Tsunami Victims: New collection for Katrina -- Total $357 in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
I posted this in another thread but I thought maybe I should start a new thread in case any one interested missed the original.
Is there anyone out there who would be interested in making a "Hatrack Forum" collection to give to the American Red Cross to aid the Tsunami victims?
I know that lots of us (including me) have already donated to the relief effort, but as was mentioned in another thread -- there is something special about the things we do as a community. Giving a gift as a community mean something not only about us as individuals but also about us as a community. It would help us to build a culture of generosity. It would mean that generosity is one of the things that define us as a community?
If there is interest, I will be glad to coordinate it just like I did with the First Book donation.

Yes. We finally got paid. Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
I'm in...I figure if I donate a little bit to a bunch of different places, I'll be contributing to wider spread relief.
Or maybe it all just goes to the Red Cross, which is also a good thing. Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
That makes thee (Anne Kate responded to the previous post).
Is anyone else interested in joining a Hatrack "Aid to Tsunami Victims" pool?
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
I would but I can only use cash.......and send it to someone else's address........I don't have a checkbook.......and can't transfer money online......otherwise its one of those duh questions........where the answer is either obvious or of course
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Sure, count me in.
Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
I give through Operation USA. They are a Nobel Prize winning group that gets 98% of the donated funds directly to the areas in need.

I love the idea for what I think are obvious reasons.
While I hugely support this, I'm contributing directly here, though. I hope y'all understand.
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
I'm interested. I would feel a lot better doing that as a group sort of thing instead of just an individual donation, cause I feel like I'm also giving something to hatrack Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
I'm in, too. I get my holiday paycheck Friday and what better cause can there be right now?
Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
I think this is a great idea, but we won't be participating - we already increased our annual donations to three aid organizations participating in the relief effort, and I really don't think we can give more right now.
Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
So Rabbit, is it the same deal as before? We paypal the money to you to be pooled and passed along?

If I don't participate here, please don't think I'm stingy. I've already given quite a bit through a collection taken by my church, and also at a local Red Cross.

Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
It looks like there are enough people interested to make this worth while.
Like I said initially, I know that many of us have already given individually and that's great. This effort is solely for those who want to do something extra as a Hatrack community.
We will handle this just like year end gift.
You can either send me the money through paypal and I will pool the funds and make a donation at the end of next week (Jan. 15).
I will make the donation to the American Red Cross International Response Fund link in Honor of the Hatrack River Forum.
You can also make a donation directly at the website given above. If you dedicate it to the Hatrack River Forum and send an e-mail message with the amount to "HatrackForum@yahoo.com" I will add it to the total.
Any amount you donate will be greatly appreciated. No one will think you are stingy if you give anly a couple of dollars or nothing at all because we know that this is only one of many ways that people at hatrack help others. The point of this effort is to allow us to join with our Hatrack friends in doing something good. I believe that help make our community a community of love and strength. If you feel that way, join us. If you don't, we know you are giving in many other ways and won't think any less of you.
BTW, I won't post who gave how much here, only the running total. If you want people to know you contributed, you will have to post it yourself. If you don't want people to know, don't worry -- I may not even be able to connect your e-mail address to your Hatrack handle.

We're donating through the kids' school. I'd love to donate through here, but I think it's very important that our kids be involved, and sending a check with them to school is a bit more tangible. Thanks for starting this up, though, Rabbit.

Don't wait until the last minute.
Even if you've given somewhere else, think about throwing a couple of dollars into the Hatrack Tsunami relief fund. This is not just about helping the Tsunami victims but about building the kind of community we want Hatrack to be.
Posted by vwiggin (Member # 926) on :
This is a great idea Rabbit and I wish I had seen this sooner.
I already made two donations to the American Red Cross through ePassporte.com, which has pledged to match donations dollar for dollar.
quote:ePassporte.com announced today that it will match every dollar its users donate to tsunami relief, up to $25,000. The money goes to the American Red Cross for providing food, shelter, clothing, sanitation, and medicine for victims of the earthquake and tsunami disaster.
ePassporte is a PayPal type of electronic funding service. It offers members free virtual Visa debit cards that can be used for online purchases.
“ePassporte’s aid effort emerged from the desire of our employees to help the victims of the tsunami disaster,” said Esther Martinez, an ePassporte employee.
ePassporte is a relatively small company compared to Paypal. But for the people here who play online poker, ePassporte should be a pretty familiar name.

I don't even know. I don't think I ever really thought about it. Some people are seemingly obvious about male vs. female - Katie, Sara, Bob, Tom. Others who have names that are sexless - like mine, for example - you just have no idea about until it comes up in conversation.

Hi folks, We made a group donation for the Tsunami Victims in January, is anyone interested in doing this again for Katrina Victims.
I will be happy to organize it like we did before.
If you want to participate, you can send the money to me through Pay-Pal and I will make the donation to the American Red Cross in honor of the Hatrack River Forum. I will keep a running total of donations and post the totals here.
Or if you'd rather not use me as a middle man, you can donate directly to the Red Cross in honor of Hatrack River. If you send me an e-mail saying how much you donated, I'll add it to the total.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
I would be happy to contribute, Rabbit, The.
However, I was thinking.
What if we find a group we could donate to directly? Like a church or community center or some place someone knows and trusts?
I am not sure how/if that would work, but I think the more immediate relief we can provide, the better.
Or, perhaps someone knows a family who was wiped out.
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
On the radio this morning, their was a list of state approved agencies for Hurricane relief. Evidently there are a number of scams operating phony relief organizations (moan).
The top recommendation was to donate to the American Red Cross. It seems that right now they are on the front lines are getting aid to the victims fastest.
In the past we've avoided donating to church groups in the hatrack group donations because we wanted everyone at hatrack to feel at ease participating. Many people feel uncomfortable contributing to a church they aren't part of even if it is for a specific relief effort.
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
Here is an official statement on why we should go through the Red Cross.
quote:Tim Gobble, Director of Emergency Management in Bradley County Tennessee, said "we are asking that individuals, groups, churches, etc. who are collecting relief supplies refrain from shipping or taking them the to the area at this time. Because there are no adequate resources available to sort, store and disseminate the items that are shipped."
Gobble says if organizations just drive down to the Gulf Coast states without specific guidance from F.E.M.A. or the Red Cross the supplies may just sit in trucks for quite some time and not get to victims.
So he says if you do bring donations make sure the organization is approved by F.E.M.A. or the Red Cross. Better yet, Gobble says giving the Red Cross, Salvation Army or other government approved relief agencies a check will ensure monies go to buying the needed supplies and that they are distributed in areas where they are needed the most.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Well, I said church, but what I really want is to find a family who has lost everything, and send them some money. And whether you are religious or not, churches know specific people in need.
Or, we could send a check directly to a specific place where people are being taken.
Just a thought.

Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
For those who, like me, are unable to contribute anything / more than they already have financially, there are other ways you can help.
Even though the Red Cross and other official relief organizations are discouraging the donation of physical items (food, blankets, etc.) because of a lack of distribution methods, MoveOn.org has organized a housing drive for victims.
If you live within 300 miles of New Orleans and have a spare bed, a spare couch or even an air mattress and a place to put it, please visit Hurricane Housing.org and sign up!

I also heard on the radio this morning that they are preparing to house as many as 1000 refugees in Utah and we aren't anywhere close to the Gulf Coast. The plan is to have churches provide meals for these refugees, so even if you don't have a bed there could be an opportunity for you to cook dinner or lunch for Hurricane victims.
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
I'll donate to my church, if that's okay. I don't really care to give a percentage of my donations to Paypal. Do you want to know how much I give to add to the tally?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
People in the Detroit area, Hamson, Telp, Ramdac, (I think you three are the other local Metro Detroiters), get ready. Mayor Kilpatrick is planning on bringing in 3,000 refugees to the Detroit area to stay on a long term basis. Maybe the four of us could volunteer at a shelter facility if such help is requested.
Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
Rabbit, I feel bad that I can only give a small amount this time, but my gift is sent, for what it's worth. I also gave through the church humanitarian fund here .
I'm going to fast 8 days over the next few weeks and am sending the money I save to hurricane relief. Anyone who wants to join me in fasting for the victims, please do. Don't fast more than is healthy for you, though. I don't do more than 24 hours in a row and have at least one whole day of eating normally between fast days.
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
Please contribute how ever you think is best, but for the sake of management I think I will include only donations made to the American Red Cross and dedicated to the Hatrack River Forum in the tally.
Also, as a note on PayPal. If you make payments through PayPal from your bank account, I get the full amount. If you make the payments through PayPal with a credit card, PayPal deducts 3% (this is the fee charged by the Credit Card companies). Whenever you make a donation or buy something using a Credit Card, the agency ends up with 3% less than you pay. There is a reason why you get so many of the Credit Card applications in the mail.
In the past, I have eaten the 3%. When I've made the final combined donation, I made it for the total amount people sent and not for the amount I received. I'll do that this time too.

Rabbit -- I admire what you are doing here, as it is a very good thing.
Forgive me for not giving through Hatrack. It is just that with every local TV station taking donations, every local radio station taking donations, my employer taking donations, and my church taking donations -- all for Katrina relief, I have already given as much out this month as I can.
However, the need will go on for several months, so I hope to be able to give more over the next few paychecks..

If you've already given, no worries.
We have discussed before about giving as individuals and giving as "Hatrack". I keep doing this "Hatrack" donations because I like what doing something like this as a community says about our community. It's part of what keeps me here.
Their are lots of ways to build community. If don't like this idea, I'm sure you will find other ways of building the Hatrack community.
If you like this way, then put a few dollars into the pool. If you don't have the spare change this time but you like the idea, we will do it again this year at Christmas.
If you've already given through some other avenue, you need feel no grief. I certainly hope that Hatrack isn't the only community in anyone's life.

Posted by KEGE (Member # 424) on :
Rabbit,
I'm from Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas though I haven't lived at "home" for almost 10 long years. A lot of displaced people are in Baton Rouge now and renting and buying homes and trying to send their kids to school and set up temporary businesses, etc. Some permanently because they were wiped out. In fact Baton Rouge is still getting power back on.
I remember a few years back when I was visiting that a new Morman church opened on Highland Road and my family went to take a tour (though I was sick and missed out).
Perhaps that church is doing something for specific families that a Hatrack pooled donation could help, like Elizabeth is saying faster or more directly?
I see from your profile that you are in Utah and maybe I'm wrong assuming you may be Morman or have the resources to check out my idea?
I'd be interested. Thank you for suggesting.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

Rabbit - this is from the Baton Rouge paper.
If you've been watching WBRZ, you've seen the toll Hurricane Katrina has taken on southeast Louisiana. Now, WBRZ and The Advocate are giving you two ways to help with Relief 2 Louisiana.
Relief 2 Louisiana establishes two funds: one for displaced residents and another for the rebuilding of New Orleans.
The Hurricane Katrina Displaced Residents Fund will benefit those individuals evacuated to Baton Rouge from the hurricane impacted areas in Greater New Orleans, who are now unable to return for what maybe an extended period. The Hurricane Katrina New Orleans Recovery Fund will focus on the rebuilding of infrastructure to provide basic human services to residents of these devastated areas.
If you would like to make a secure financial donation to one or both of these funds using your credit card, debit card, online check or via PayPal, simply click here.
You donations are sorely needed, and tax deductible. Donations by check are to be mailed or delivered to the Foundation's physical address:
Baton Rouge Area Foundation 402 N. Fourth Street Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802

I think this is the best place to put it.
I know there are many places asking for donations, and there are many options. Here is one more option.
I have three friends who all just barely moved to New Orleans. One is a law student, and the other two just got married and moved there for the husband's residency.
The law student is 30, and starting his second career. He moved to New Orleans about three weeks ago, so he didn't have renter's insurance yet. It was on his list of things to do. He has been able to become a visiting student in California at Chapman University until Loyola is able to take the students again.
He has nothing. He was gone for the weekend visiting a friend, so all he had was what he took for that weekend trip. His apartment has been flooded, so he lost everything. He is in California because he has some family he can stay with, but they are cramped and that is not a permanent solution.
The couple got married a few months ago, and they are now staying with family here in Dallas for a month until they know where the husband is being transferred. They were able to save only what they could fit in the wife's car when she left for Houston last Saturday. The husband has only his wallet and the scrubs he was wearing - they evacuated the hospital so quickly he wasn't allowed to go to his car and get his bag. They lost all their wedding presents and household items, and they may or may not have had insurance. They will know within a month where the husband will be transferred. The wife is able to work, although she doesn't have a job right now. We are hoping they can stay in Dallas - there are family and friends here, and the wife could get her old job back since they haven't replaced her yet.
I didn't think of them as needing help at first because their futures are so much brighter than many of the evacuees, but their present situation is the same as most other refugees: not much.
If anyone's interested, I can find out from them exactly what they need.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
We're a heck of a drive from Chapman University (and I don't know if he even has a car), but the law student can stay with us. We just moved Superstation in with Mooselet, so our nursery/guest room is empty for the time being.
