I just donated to Redcross. Be sure to specify that you want the money to go for this disaster or they put the money in general funds. There also is a place where you can ask the donation be in honor of or in memorial to...I put in memorial to Casey Sheehan.

What a beautiful idea, Alohaleezy ... write a diary about your donation / memorial to Casey ... it's an idea that should be spread far.

It was right in front of me when I went to donate. I wanted to help both causes at this moment in time.

That's a GREAT idea.  Hyperbolic pants explosion over at dKos has been raising $$ for Cindy Sheehan by selling Casey bracelets (at least I think that that's how it's gone) and said that she would be taking bracelet $ and donating to disaster relief.  I will try to track down his/her email address and recommend it be made "in honor of".  Great way to show cohesiveness in this community.

Hey... Guess what??! I have a blog!!

That is f'ing beautiful. She is my hero!! In the midst of her cause, Cindy recognises a bigger concern right now. She is a woman of integrity. Do you have a link to where we can do this?

And of course you do realise that the Freepers will run with this and say she is just a publicity hound.
