The official death toll today stands at 80,000 people. (Update: as of January 1st, the estimated toll is over 150,000. I'll try to keep this number up to date.) Rescue organisations really, really need money to get food, medicine and supplies to these areas as fast as they possibly can. As helenmelon says in this post, a little money goes a very long way in these areas. Even if you give $5, you will be saving someone's life - if you give more, you'll be doing even more good. I just gave $50, and I'd be delighted if even a tiny fraction of the Internet community did the same; by Helen's figures, that would pay for over 200 meals at street prices; imagine how many people it could help at the buying power an organization like the Red Cross commands.

I would like to come up with something more clever to spread the word, but I can't. So if you'd like to very easily, with next to no effort to yourself, spread the message, drop the code in the box below into your journal. There are 5 and a half million users on LiveJournal; if each of them gave $5, that would be $27.5 million dollars, a figure approaching the aid promised by the entire US government. Even if a fraction of users give, it will make an enormous impact.
