help the peace corps?
Jun. 22nd, 2008 03:59 pmErm, so there's no really unawkward way to do this: I have a request for money. Don't run yet! It's for a good cause, and a personal one, so it's not like the money is going to a big organization where you don't what exactly it's being used for.
But I would I like to stress this: Do not feel obligated to give. I know a lot of you on my flist are scrapped for cash yourselves, and/or are Struggling Starving Students, and/or have other priorities. I won't think less highly of you if you don't, and you don't get special points if you do (though I am pondering 'thank you' gifts in the forms of icons/drabbles/dunnoyet).
If you do feel inclined to help, don't feel like you have to give a lot. My dad passed this around at work and people donated between $5 and $20 USD, but really, anything will help. And actually, large numbers would probably be suspicious, since my parents think I talk to like... five people, online. XD
( So my cousin is in the Peace Corps... and he's trying to build a bridge... )
And again, NO OBLIGATION, obvs. My dad wants to send the check on Wednesday, but I have PayPal, so... I think something could be worked out that way. If you're at all interested, or want to know more - though that is pretty much all I know about the project (or want to throw rocks at me for soliciting in my LJ, or whatever XD), leave a comment with your e-mail address. They are screened.
