Boosting the Signal: Ways to help Haiti

[neadods]

help_haiti: fandom auctions being set up to help Haiti.

bana05 has more links.

Daily Kos has a mammoth roundup of charities which is being updated constantly.

Also, via acciochocolate (post now unlocked):
Unicef
American Red Cross & British Red Cross
World Society for Protection of Animals (USA) and worldwide
Mercy Corps

I believe Doctors Without Borders is on the ground as well.

ETA: Not that I'm going to get the answer right away - I am still not getting any email that includes the title "reply to your/an entry" even if it's on a thread I clicked "track" for - but I've got lots of yarn for the cause.

So if anyone knows of a Ravelry donation/auction link they can send me to, I will happily send yarn to the auction block.

PPS - The AOL/LJ issue seems to be semi-solved. The only reply I've seen is the one that had a title on it. AOL's spamcatcher must be grabbing all the untitled ones and blocking them; I'm not even seeing them in my filter.

I've signed up to write a fic on help_haiti. Posted on my LJ also, and encouraged anyone else participating in the auction to reply with their thread, which I'll add to my post. The more we advertise participation, the more money will be raised, I hope!

Tried the acclochocolate "point you to her LJ" link and was told "You are not authorized to view this protected entry." Other people may have the same problem.

The post is flocked. I can see it as I'm on her flist.

I hadn't realized a charity call was locked; apologized and updating links here now.

Update 2: She's unlocked it now, so I've given credit to her and got the main list of links on my post as well.

You can offer wool for sale in this thread - I already saw at least one other person doing so.

Thank you.

wendymr beat me to it. The help_haiti auction also has a misc category that people are signing up on and I've seen a yarn offer.

I don't know if this touches on any of the fandoms your readership
shares - and, of course, I may be making people feel worse - but,
"The Haitian" on "Heroes" (Jimmy Jean-Louis) is really Haitian, &
has already lost some relatives - and can't find his parents, yet.

Oh, NO!
