Gimme Shelter
Well, not me. I have a roof over my head and I suspect most of you do, too.
I originally wrote this post because of Haiti, but Shelter Box has been kept very busy since then. I don’t know who is fundraising to get boxes into Japan, but here is the direct site http://shelterbox.org/ and they probably have some idea.
It’s an amazing little box which is doing a world of good.
Some people in Haiti (among other places) are in a bad way though, and the people of Daily Kos are doing something about it.
I know, I usually think of DK as being good at producing a groundswell of mass hysteria and little else, but I admit that when they do get their heads and their hearts together, they can produce really good things. Strength in numbers and all that, with people being able to give as little as $5.00 to as much as they want to and, so far, they have been able to purchase 118 Shelter Boxes for the people of Haiti.
Shelter Boxes in action
