Personal Question with poll.
Please do not feel like you need to explain, and I apologize because I do feel this is a personal issue, but I was just curious if you have donated, monetarily or volunteer-wise, to the Red Cross or some other organization to help the victims of Katrina? I know it's personal because some people just do not like to talk about these things.

Re: Personal Question with poll.
I donated... It was a small amount because I dont have much money but its something. Personally, I would feel very guilty going on about my life and not doing anything while these poor people in our own country are suffering.
I also want to donate clothers and food and am looking for places to find to drop off things like this. If anyone hears of any, please post!

 this is why I always always always put other as the last option...I learned there is ALWAYS an other answer afterwards.

Re: Personal Question with poll.
I haven't yet.
I actually tried to last night, but I guess the server was so busy that it wasn't going through. I'm going to try again later.

throughout the year, I donate through ways like clothes and other items to the cerebal palsey society and the cancer society, but for this particular disaster, i donated cash to the red cross.

Re: Personal Question with poll.
Not yet, b/c I want to see what we are doing at school. But I want to go through my closet too. And I have random things of baby formula, for some reason, that I want to donate.

We donated cash to this, too. And normally, not having much extra cash, we donate through clothes, too. I just felt that in this case, I needed to donate money. Because my seemingly small donation, combined with other people who feel the same probably makes a huge difference!

Exactly why I have not yet- we always do something through the school with the student body . . . .

I agree.. And I personally I feel like just because I donate other things throughout the year, doesnt mean I cant do a small part to help now in this disaster..
Once I go back to school I am going to get my class involved somehow to help...

I also run the Nation Junior Honor Society in my school, and we will be doing fund raising for this. My kids raised over 2K last year for a local cause, so I know they'll do an awesome job for this!

Re: Personal Question with poll.
yes - we donated to the red cross. I personally feel strongly that the country came to our rescue 4 years ago and now it is my duty to do the same. I am heartbroken at what I see on TV - I wish I could donate way more to help my fellow americans.

Re: Personal Question with poll.
My company's doing a matching so I just sent off my check this morning.
I too normally donate with clothes, etc, but with this, as with the tsunami, I think it's more important to donate $.

Re: Personal Question with poll.
Please remember that even 5 dollars can help!!It buys a case of water which is what is needed most right now.

Even though we donate money every month, your post moved me and reminded me that more money is needed RIGHT NOW. I just donated more. Thanks for inspiring me to get off my arse!
