In hopes that AW will allow me this opportunity. Don't stop listing! Use those resources to send a donation to the American Red Cross and put your business sense to use to help those that are in NY. Whether it be a blood donation or funding, it all matters. Thanks,

Thank you.
For those of you who can't donate blood, and can't afford a cash donation, the Red Cross gratefully accepts volunteers. Even unskilled labor is welcome. For example, for many years my family has helped with our local blood drawing. My mom does the administration work involved with setting up, coordinating volunteers, advertising, etc. I do what I can to pitch in to help her with that, even if it's just carrying the boxes of blood from the building out to their truck. The nurses are always grateful for even this token of help after a long day's work. Consider giving a gift of your time as well, sometimes it's the most valuable donation you can make.

Amazon.com has on their home page, a large link to a page on their site to donate to the Red Cross.
I have been watching this site since Tuesday evening, and am pleased to report that this one site alone has raised over 4 million.
As I hit the refresh button on that site, it seems that somewhere around $1,000 per minute is comming in. It seems not to have slowed down since Tuesday.
My personal thanks to Amazon for their efforts, even more thanks to the 116768 (so far) folks who donated an average of $35.81 each to this cause...
