What would Gemma do? She'd help Haiti...that's what.

It's all part of being fierce, folks.  

Want to help Haiti and don't know how?  Here you go:

George Bush and Bill Clinton organize to help Haiti:  http://clintonbushhaitifund.org/

Of course, the Red Cross is a good choice.  You can either text "Haiti" to 90999, or you can donate online:  http://www.redcross.org/

People have been buried under rubble for nearly six days now.   Many who are rescued will have to have limbs amputated because of gangrene.  Most will die from their injuries, dehydration, and starvation.  Those who were not buried under rubble will suffer from dysentery and be vulnerable to crime and violence. 

Remember how lucky we are to live where we do, that we have building standards, a stable government, safe access to drinking water, and a living wage.  Hug your loved ones and be grateful for them.

Peace.

  1. There's a fandom auction going on over at http://community.livejournal.com/help_haiti/

    It's pretty simple - people post items they're offering (such as to write a fanfic story, or create a piece of fan art) and then others can bid on the items. If you win an auction, then you donate the amount of your bid to any number of approved charities for Haiti.

    Right now, there are three people offering to write Sons of Anarchy stories. (http://eponymous-rose.livejournal.com/313852.html - scroll down - it's alphabetical.)
