Blog > Earthquake relief fund update - Thank you!

posted by meiadeleite

12 Jun, 2008

As some of you might have noticed, Postcrossing closed the Paypal “donation box” for the Sichuan Earthquake relief fund a few days ago.
We took some time to mail all the postcard packs to the generous donors and today, exactly a month after the earthquake, we headed to the bank and made the deposit: 12289.2 RMB (or 1149.2 Euros or 1776.4 U.S. dollars) .

Thank you very much to everybody that contributed! Your kindness and generosity will surely have a meaningful impact on the lives of the millions of people affected by this disaster!

Like they say around here, 谢谢你！

PS – If you would still like to make a donation, please do so directly to the Red Cross, through the numbers on this page.

Excellent. My postcards arrived today. Thank you must go to Phoebe for donating the postcards. They are very nice and special. I am amazed at how quickly the postcards have arrived in Australia from China.

Thanks a lot for organising this - and thanks for my postcards, which have arrived safely. I was amazed to find I was one of the people lucky enough to get some!

What a pleasant surprise. Thank you, Phoebe, for the set of lovely photo postcards. I didn't expect to be one of the lucky recipients.

I just read the notice yesterday about the cards being sent out, then checked my mail and there was an envelope for me! Quite a lovely surprise! The postcards are really unusual...it will be fun choosing who to send them to. Well done to all who contributed, and to those who worked to make this possible.

Thanks for organizing this. And thanks for the postcards which arrived in my pile of after-vacation mail today! I will keep some for myself and share some with others who weren't so fortunate to receive a set.
