The amount of relief needed to help the people on the Gulf Coast survive in the short term and return to some semblance of normalcy in the long term is going to be staggering. Ella of the delightful blog Occasionally Glamourous of a Misused Youth has organized a blog community fund raiser and even though I've already made a contribution to the relief effort, I accepted the invitation to participate.
In a nutshell, for every unique comment left here on "Delurking Day"...Saturday September 3, 2005...I will donate $1.00 to the American Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Relief fund.
Say "hi"...send a prayer or a wish to the victims of the hurricane and its aftermath...read the "New Orleans" post just below this one (or any others here)...just make yourself known. It'll only take a couple of minutes. It's a small thing, of course, but every little bit can quickly add up as the blog community reaches out to one of the other communities that we all belong to (and anything that keeps attention focused on the crisis is, to my mind, all good.)
Namaste.
