Hooray, it’s my birthday! It’s been a good year, and the next year should be even more incredible. I’ve got a good husband, a good house, good friends, a good job, and everything’s terrific. So presents are nice? But really: I’m all set.
So today, let’s leverage the power of the Velociraptor Birthday Princess to help out some people who aren’t having such a terrific time right now. Donate to Philippines disaster relief, and I’ll match. Just leave a message in the comments with the amount and the organization you chose, and tomorrow morning I’ll total it all up and make a matching donation. Cool? Cool.
Hey, can I PayPal you $10 to add in to your gift so that I don’t get mail from whatever organization I would donate to? I’m *still* getting mail from Doctors Without Borders after giving them money once in 2004 and asking them about 50 times to stop mailing stuff to me. I would like to give, but I don’t want to get the inevitable mail. Let me know what you think of my plan ๐
Darcy — sure! good plan. ๐ I will email you the best address to use for paypal. Thanks!!
I totally sent a billion dollars to Red Cross. Or wait, no, I was running a little less than that… It was more like $20. ๐
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! รขโขยฅ You are awesome.
$50 for Mercy Corps’s Haiyan relief. And happy birthday! You are awesome.
$150 to UNICEF. They truly prioritize children’s safety and mental health needs. What a great idea–instead of getting a bunch of stuff you don’t need, you get to increase the amount of compassion in the world. Thanks for letting me join in!
