great idea! donation sent

what a great initiative! i've donated too

This is a beautiful thing! I sent my donation, too :)

What a great idea to create this way for us to help. I doubt I was one of the first 100 to donate but I'm curious if I was, how would Postcrossing know who I am or my address? I used my existing Paypal account and I thought they do not share addreses. Was I supposed to be logged in first before making my donation? Thanks again for setting this up.

Hi Carm, Paypal does share your address with the recipient of your money (I'm guessing it assumes you are paying for an item, or that we might want to send you an invoice).

donated. one of those things that's definately worth a donation

Great job! I've donated and I'll tell as many people as I can!

I just saw this post on a blog: http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2008/05/20/homeless-san-jose-san-francisco-dallas-austin-boston-denver/ It's a comparison between the number of homeless people as a result of the Sichuan earthquake and the number of habitants in certain american cities. Wow! It really puts things in perspective.

My heart goes out to the victims of the earthquake(s) and I applaud your initiative at collecting donations. However, charity begins at home and I am afraid that my finacial support has to go to the displaced people in South Africa following the horrific, ongoing xenophobic attacks in my home town, Johannesburg. There are people with nothing left but the clothes on their backs, within walking distance of my house...

I just donated through two separate payments of 5 and 10 dollars.- I hope that the suffering caused to the people of Sichuan can bring everyone together to help others suffering in the world from natural disasters.

What a hearthwarming idea - I've just donated € 10,00 and hope it finds its way to the Red Cross. Applause for you!

I am a Chinese here on PC.I am gratefull for donations from all friends on PostCrossing!Thanks very much!

What a wonderful idea! I donated right away.

Hi, no problem for us to donate this small money! Pray to GOD that he donate blessing to the peopel in vivtims in china.

just wondered, does the donation only work in US dollars or Euros? or does it count if we donate in say, GBP but the value is more than 10 euro?

Hi Rachel, all the donations count, no matter the currency.

Thank you all for your concern and donations for the victims of the Sichuan earthquake.I am from China. Hope all the victims can come through the difficulties and rebuild their home soon.
