I made my donation already, but I want to do more.
So I’m auctioning off a custom needlefelted sculpture of the buyer’s choice- cat, dog, dragon, pony, goldfish, whatever- in exchange for a donation to Partners n Health, the Red Cross, or other responsible charity group currently helping in Haiti.
How this works: You post a comment with the amount you’re willing to donate. Once the auction’s over, if you’ve won, you make that donation and either take a screen capture of your receipt (if you donate online) or take me a photo of your check (block out the bank information) and tell me you’ve mailed it if you want to mail it that way), email it to me, and I’ll make your item.
Winner will be the person who has pledged the highest amount as of midnight, January 22, 2010. (Edited because I’m a dope and forgot to add that! If you liked my corgi in the corgi-aid auction, well, this is a chance to get one of your own!
Bidding starts at $20.
I’m also doing a second auction on the Livejournal HelpFor Haiti community, so there are two items going for offer.
Edited to add: Newman’s Own is doing a grant for the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation -
Joanne Woodward Newman and Newman’s Own Foundation just announced a combined $100,000 challenge grant in support of SDF’s Search Teams, inspired by their work in Haiti!
Help SDF meet the challenge – you can donate online or call (888) 459-4376. Please share the news of this challenge with all your friends.
This would be a GREAT charity!
