Lately, I have felt very helpless watching the aftermath of this weeks terrible tragedy unfold. I ran into this link today at Paypal and thought that it might offer some of us a way of contributing to the people who are in need of assistance.

We also need to keep the victims, their friends and families, and all the volunteers(Fire Fighters, Police, Medical Professionals, New York Citizens, etc..) in our prayers while they continue to risk their lives during their rescue efforts.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of Tuesday's attacks and their families.

I donated $100. I challenge all of the other S2ki members to donate at least as much as they spend on gas in a month. We could do $50,000 by ourselves.

Donate! Help!

It was money going to the car, but they need it more and it's what I can do to help. I would LOVE to hear if someone hear can beat me. They need the money! And GIVE BLOOD or PLASMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
