Help out hurricane katrina kids, through the Oxygen! network Options

[jordanriane]

Do you want to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, but are financially unable to? You can still help. The Oxygen Network has started a campaign called 'Oh! Speak Up!: The Youngest Victims of Hurricane Katrina'.

The campaign is helping children who were patients of the New Orleans Children's Hospital who were moved to the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. Oxygen has stated that for every person the signs up for the campaign, they will donate $1 to help the kids.

All you have to do is enter your name, age, zip code, and email address. Nothing else is required and you won't get tons of spam email.

It's a great cause and you'd be donating $1 to the campaign at no cost to yourself. I've already signed up, along with 12,685 other people.

Think about it: if one million people sign up, that's one million dollars to help these children. If you'd like to help, go here, to the campaign's registration page, take 2 minutes to fill out the information, and pass the link you receive on to other people.

Email it, post it in your own journal, do whatever. Let me know if you sign up, I'm interested to see who all helps out! :)

(I found this in my friend's livejournal, thanks divine_dreams)

Yay, I signed up.
When I first saw the title I was like, wtf. I'm helping the katrina victims by breathing? lol

[xscore]

oh thanks for sharing!

(ha, at first i was like, "these people don't even have air to breathe!!?")

[coconutter]

I signed up =D

[*danielle_x3*]

i signed up as well. `=)

[silver-rain]

I also signed up.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

I signed up, but they're only going to donate up to $10,000 according to that site. And the number of people that has signed up has already exceeded that amount. So...yeah.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

^ i thought that meant that was how many dollars they were up to ?

regardless people should sign up. i did & im passing it around my myspace. im trying to figure out of ways to get it more out there.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

on the site, they show the number of people that have signed up (you can also read it in the first post by jordan) and that exceeds the 10,000. ugh.

It's a great cause and you'd be donating $1 to the campaign at no cost to yourself. I've already signed up, along with 12,685 other people.

although that number has grown.
sorry, i'm not really trying to mess anything up because it's great people want to help. but i'm just pointing out a small detail and some of these efforts are fruitless.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

^ crap.

is there any other campaign we could do ?

[xscore]

^ just go to the american red cross website and donate some money.

Does that even matter? At least it's the thought that counts.

Honestly, yes I read that, however, if there is a great enough response, maybe they'll reconsider their fine print.

There's no need to ruin this for anyone, come on now.

If you don't want to sign up, then don't. It's as simple as that.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

wow, why are you upset (at least that's what it comes off as)? i was pointing something out. this is not a time for your "stop bitching and donate your money if you don't want to sign up." i'm sorry if i made it seem that i wanted people to stop signing up. (okay my "some of these efforts were fruitless" statement was a bit harsh.) i just wanted people to be aware of the fine print.

by the way i did sign up, spread it on myspace, and apologized if i was "ruining" it for some people. and i did say in my own words that the thought did count.

although i can't say anything about the site reconsidering their fine print because that is possible.

edit: i guess what i've been trying to say is that people should contribute in other ways as well.

I've been helping out already, because a lot of Louisiana people came to the expo building here in Cleveland, Mississippi. I helped out with taking food by there and old clothes. But I'm still willing to sign up.

[*incoherent*]

thats really cool because i dont have a lot of money, but i really wanted to help out.

[jennyjenny]

I signed up. It seems as if everywhere you go over here, like shopping places they'll ask you to donate some money.

[gracefulletdown]

I did this on someone else's earlier today..with the link they gave me..if I do it on this link too is it still the same thing?

[nopattern]

I signed up.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

I signed up, and sent it to some people I should go to red cross and donate some.

[jeraltan raw]

So is it still active, or what?


Pfft. I've already donated a good 3,000 from my own pocket.
My share is done.
