Feeding the Hungry, Visiting the Sick

[featherynscale]

It's like being clergy or something. Anyway, I'm looking for some help, and here's the deal.

From now until Imbolc (that's 2/2, for you mainstream religious types), Gaia Community is collecting money for Heifer International. Heifer is a charitable organization that gives livestock to poor families to help feed their families and their communities, and have milk, eggs, honey, wool, and suchlike for trade. We're trying to raise enough money to sponsor a flock of sheep for Imbolc, in honor of Brigid.

Wanna help out? You can drop by my donation page and make a donation, or you can join Gaia Community's team and canvass your friends, family, coworkers, whoever, for help. Or, of course, you could just go to Heifer's website and donate there, but I'm trying to make our team look good here! :)

Thanks for reading, thanks for donating. Now, I'm gonna go see orcjohn up at the hospital. Catch you later.

I checked out your donation page and didn't see sheep on the list. Out of curiosity, how much does GC need to raise to cover a flock of sheep?

Yeah, we emailed them to see if there was a way to put sheep on the donation page as an option. One sheep is $120, so I'm thinking we try to get as many as possible...

YAY BRIGID! :D
I wish I could help. Serious about the vibrator though.. Um. Even though it's grossly inappropriate. If you want it, it's yours. I bought a bunch of ghostie ones for Halloween that never sold. They're just taking up room and I'm never going to sell them so if you want one it's yours.

That's pretty awesome, actually. I would be delighted to take one off your hands to use as a thank-you present. :)

Yay! I'll send it asap. Will have to see if I have your current addy.. somewhere...
