Wow. Brave woman to match donations. Hopefully Bill Gates doesn't read your blog (he he). In any event, I donated $20.00 to Am Red Cross.

I made a contribution to CARE last night. What a great idea to remind people that others are less fortunate! Thanks for your generousity.

well, after hearing about how many children have died, my children have given up an amazing amount of their allowance to benefit doctors without borders - they gave $100 in memory of my brother. i can't even begin to express how proud i am of them.
so we gave $100 on your blogsite. i hope it doesn't break you financially. i will admit to sobbing uncontrollably listening to my children wanting to help both for the people who are affected, and for my brothers memory. ROCK ON!
