Crafts and Miscellaneous Audio and Vids Words Requests Art We still need people to come and offer up items and people to bid, so please keep spreading the word! Thank you so much for all your help. We couldn't do this without all you lovely people.
We've been a bit stringent about how to choose charities to include in this auction and so we could not include a
women's organization. I've been told that violence against women is on the rise since the quake. If you can donate any funds at all to them, please consider it. The reason we did not include them is that they are not vetted by a site like charity navigator, nor are they internationally reputable.
