A Quick Message

Some time ago, Misha Collins, the actor who plays Castiel in Supernatural, decided to form his own paramilitary organization over the tubes by recruiting "Minions." His initial goal, like any good megalomaniac, was world domination. But, after the earthquake in Haiti, that has been put on the backburner -- Misha has now set up a UNICEF fund for all Minions to donate to.

Even if you aren't a Minion, I'd recommend donating something, somewhere, to a charitable organization if you can. For Haiti, for poor and underprivileged folks across the globe, and because we should all help our fellows.

If UNICEF isn't your thing, Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) is also a good organization to donate to:

Or, as always, The American Red Cross:

Doctors Without Borders has the advantage of already being on the scene; unfortunately so many people are donating to them right now that their donation site is having trouble with the traffic. It may take a couple of tries to get your contribution through.

That actually pleases me a great deal. :3

On the one hand, I approve... On the other, I wanted to make my donation!

Thank you for the links.

My heart goes out to Haiti and its people.
