| Update:
In just four days we have met our donation goal, which is simply amazing! Once processed and submitted, we will be requesting a letter of donation verification from the Red Cross. A scan of the letter will be available at ResellerRatings
when made available to us by the Red Cross.
We appreciate everyone's effort is helping to
provide aid and relief. You have helped to make a positive difference in many lives, ands we encourage all people to continue much needed donations to the Red
Cross and other charities responding to the needs of those affected by this terrible disaster.
Hurricane Katrina will likely go down as the worst natural disaster in
U.S. history. 1,000,000 people are without homes, and thousands
of people lost their lives. The most immediate concern is to
help those victims who remain in devastated areas to be
evacuated and to receive food, water, and shelter. To those who
have already donated to support this cause, you are to be
commended, but the amount of help that this effort will require
is enormous and everyone will need to pull together and give
again and again.
People as far as 150 miles
north of the coast must boil their drinking water. Massive and
costly amounts of something as simple as water will need to be
provided to countless victims of this disaster, not to mention
the costs of food, water, and shelter for the homeless.
Now, to do our part,
ResellerRatings is offering to match your donations to the Red
Cross from today, Sunday September 4th, through Thursday
September 15th, dollar for dollar, up to a total contribution of
$10,000. We aim to raise a total of $20,000 for the Red Cross
(your donations plus our matched donation).
For those that haven't yet made a
contribution to this very important cause, now is your chance to
double your impact. For those that have already given, please,
give again. The hurricane survivors need your support - let's
let them know that they have not been forgotten and that the
people of this country will see to it that they are fully cared
for. ResellerRatings has hopefully saved you a lot of money and
frustration over the years - please give back a little of that
savings to those in need.
To confirm to you that we
uphold our end of the bargain, we will request a letter from the
Red Cross as verification of our contribution and we will
publish a scan of that letter here.
Thank you!

P.S. - This program is intended
to encourage honest giving. Please, give honestly and
participate ethically. Attempts to submit falsified
documentation of a donation that was not actually made will be
reported to the attorney general in your state. |
