NEPAL NEEDS OUR HELP NOW!

Bump to the top. Thank you for this reminder to donate - sometimes in the daily shuffle it is hard to realize just how real this tragedy is elsewhere in the world, and how important it is to take a moment and offer any help you can.

Please donate people! Trust me, you'll feel a little less guilty about all the other business of vinyl records, concerts, wants and desires, etc after you've given to a worthy cause.

Apologies for standing on the soapbox here for a moment - but please consider giving!

Very well put, Adusick, and no apologies needed.
It is hard to realize that while we are enjoying our morning cup of coffee or tea, there are people in Nepal at this exact same moment desperately searching for just a sip of clean water and shelter.
One can very easily & quickly donate money right this minute to the Nepal Earthquake Relief effort by going to paypal.com and clicking on the blue "Donate Now" button.
You will then be offered the choice of four different charities that will each forward 100% of your donation to this rapidly unfolding emergency.
Thank you so very much!

How's your afternoon been?

And Sunday morning in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Good morning once again all!
While we are waking up here in America and beginning our day, it's approaching 7 p.m. tonight in Kathmandu, Nepal (they are 9:45 hours ahead of us) and time to find a safe place to sleep.
For those in our Pearl Jam community that have already donated money via paypal.com (from a choice of four different charities) earlier this week, your generosity is already being felt by the Nepalese people as we speak.
And not to be left out, everyone else in our community still can very easily and quickly donate as well right now - either by donating via paypal.com AND/OR
our Nepal Earthquake Relief Raffle fund-raiser right here in Ten Club Lost Dogs!
Thank you very much for your kindness.

Here's an encouraging news story just released regarding the Nepal disaster:
"Rescuers have pulled a 101-year-old man alive from his ruined home a week after Nepal's earthquake claimed at least 7,200 lives, as the government warned Sunday the death toll will climb "much higher".
Funchu Tamang was rescued on Saturday from the rubble of his house with only minor injuries to his ankle and hand, after the quake ripped through the impoverished country on April 25."
Helps illustrate the URGENCY for all of us to PLEASE donate and help NOW!
Thank you.

And good afternoon!

Here is some fresh good news!:
"Troops and emergency aircraft from the United States have arrived in Nepal to help deliver aid to remote areas hit by last week's devastating earthquake.

Relief efforts near the epicentre have been hampered by a lack of aircraft.

About 100 US marines, two helicopters and four Ospreys capable of vertical take-off are now in Kathmandu."

A hearty and sincere "Thank You!" to our men and women in uniform.

Good evening everyone!

Good night all.
