* Note: The only reason that 100% of the donations have not
already been transferred is that there are some "electronic checks"
that have not yet cleared, thus the money has not been put in the
PayPal account. As soon as they clear, they'll be transmitted to
AmeriCares.

As I went to make my daily $3,000 drop on Americares' site this morning
I noticed something incredible: An option to pay via Paypal or
electronic check! Thus, our work here is done. All we wanted to do was
provide a way for people to donate their money via Paypal, but now that
Americares is doing that directly, we can step out of the picture.
I've donated
everything that is currently in our Paypal account. I'm waiting for the
rest of the electronic checks to clear and for Paypal to refund the
fees. Once that's done, I'll make the final transfer to Americares.
The following links are still active and valid:

I highly encourage you to visit the links and find out if there are other ways you can help.

Site Launch. Can lightning
strike in the same place twice?If you were part of the Tsunami Donation Relief
Fund, you'll know that within two weeks this little site
raised over $9,000 to be sent to the Americares Foundation.
Now that this new natural disaster is upon us, I'm hoping this site can
again be a resource to help direct funds where they are so desperately
needed. Thank you all for your kindness and generosity!
