All respect for the member that helped after Neal - I was thinking ( following the lady from York, UK post ), if every member of DR1 would spare 10 bucks ( 10 quid even better ) to help a specific area ( I propose Sosua ) than we'll alcomplish something. The way I look at it - we'll have a trustee ( I propose Marco ), he'll set up a paypal ac, we'll do our bit, he'll use his best judgement how to spread the joy and we'll get the pics ( for free )
I presume you mean the tropical Storm Noel.
The concept isn't bad, as it would apparently raise a lot of money, but those DR1 members who are in the position to help/donate, already have, for the most part.
As well, we were unaffected by the storm, here on the North coast, so if someone was organizing such a fund drive for a future disaster, it would have to be someone close to the action, for practicality reasons.
I do want to thank you for making this post, as you clearly feel a need to help those poor souls who were wiped out by the storm, and anyone who does or wants to help, is OK in my book.
