Paint for Haiti
 

As I sit watching the Hope for Haiti Now fundraiser, I am moved to try and do something.

I am offering to paint a body for the highest donator over $50, with 100% of the money going to the Hope for Haiti Now.org campaign.

So, if you feel like helping and want or need a new body, post your name and your contribution amount.

I will provide the body you specify (no large scalers please), and paint it in your requested design, and ship it out to you. So make a contribution and get something back for your help.

They need it.

If you don't want to help here, send what you can to help those poor children in Haiti.

God Bless.

Very nice of you Dave.

So are we bidding or how do we start this off?

If the moderators will allow it this way, yes, it's a bidding system.

Post your name and your "bid" donation amount.
The next person just bids higher. And so on.

Wow, what a great thing to do! Let me start the bidding...

$50

(Can I suggest bids must be at least $5 higher?)

$75

$85

that is a good thing to do Dave :D

While I certainly don't mind winning the auction at a great price thought I would give a free bump to a good cause.

Id like to bump to $100

You guys are awesome!

Think of this as karma, as well. One good deed that should come back to you tenfold!

I am going to make this fair and document the fact that the offer will end at 12:00noon central time on next Monday, Feb 1, 2010.


Good luck and thanks for your generousity!

Dave C

Just reminder that this is open until Monday at Noon.

Hootna, I will PM you with some details on contacting me and we can get started for you!

Anyone else who missed out, please send what you can to the charity of your choice, Haita related or not. Every little bit helps.

Dear David,

With your support, the American Red Cross can provide relief for communities struck by extensive natural disasters like the recent earthquakes in Haiti. This is part of our global mission to help vulnerable people around the world overcome the devastation of disaster, complex humanitarian emergencies and life-threatening health conditions. On behalf of those we serve, thank you for your recent gift in support of our International Response Fund.

Almost immediately following the earthquakes, the American Red Cross released financial assistance, deployed highly-trained staff and provided supplies such as, hygiene kits, blankets and water containers to support this massive humanitarian relief operation. More than 500 Red Cross and Red Crescent workers from around the world, including 100 from the American Red Cross, are in Haiti distributing food and water, and providing shelter and basic medical aid.

To address growing needs, we are working in close coordination with humanitarian organizations on the ground and our local Red Cross partner, the Haitian National Red Cross Society. For victims of this devastating disaster, our work is the hope for tomorrow. This is a result of generous gifts from donors like you.

In addition to disaster response, we focus on improving primary health care, restoring family links, and disseminating the guiding principles of international humanitarian law. We are grateful to have support from donors like you, which is critical to the humanitarian work of the American Red Cross in Haiti and around the world. For more information on our most recent international disaster responses, please visit www.redcross.org/.

Sincerely,



The American Red Cross
