Who Will Join Me?:
The damage from Katrina is just off the charts, and the relief efforts are going to take months and years and will require tremendous resources. Who will match me in giving to the relief efforts?
If I can find between one and five VC readers who will agree to match me dollar for dollar, I'll give $200 to the relief efforts today. If I can find between 6 and 10 people who will match me, I'll up my donation to $400. If I can find 11-15 people, I'll give $600; 16-20 people, I'll raise the donation to $800; and if I can find more than 20 VC readers will match me dollar for dollar, I'll give $1,000.
If you're a VC reader and you want to match me, your donation will be anywhere from $200 to $1,000, depending on how many VC readers agree to join us. So who is in? If you are, either leave a comment or send me an e-mail at orinkerr (at) yahoo.com so I can get a head count and know how much to give.

By the way, the Red Cross takes donations online, here.
If you can get a group that will agree to pool resources and match me collectively, that sounds great.
I'm very glad that you're donating. If you want to match me, though, keep in mind that the amount will vary depending on how many VC readers are participating (anywhere from $200 to $1000). Of course, if you don't feel you can commit to that, you are free to donate on your own, and I hope you will.
For those who would like to match, a comment here or a private e-mail will be enough to confirm.
I can commit to half of a match, if you want to make a collective donation.
Anyway, I just donated $200 to the Lutheran Disaster Relief Fund, as it has an extremely low adminstration overhead. Please let me know if you would like a copy of my receipt for verification purposes.
It appears as though between the 3 of us we might be able to make a sizable contribution. I can put in 100 towards whichever total amount it ends up being.
Anyone else wishing to donate a more limited amount want to contribute to a pool that will be considered one donor?

I can match half of the contribution for 400 if you are still interested in splitting it.
It's up to $600 now.
I'll add $200.00 to your $800.00. I sent you an email.
My email is prankmonkey02 -at- yahoo.com.
I can't wait. I'm doing the money now. No refunds necessary if we don't make it. [wag]
I'm willin to contribute 200, and I think Chris C. is willing to put in around that amount, or more.
Between us 3, that puts us at 600.
Thanks!
Bah, pool us as a full matching group, I'm in for the remainder, if you're in for up to 200 each.
My apologies, I think I read your post wrong. Are you saying you'll cover the remaining 600 on top of Kelly and I's 400?
If so, I'll donate as soon as I hear from you.
Yeah, just reread what I posted and realized that my ability to write coherently went out the window for a bit.
Yes, I am in for the remaining 600 above your 200 and kelly's 200.
Mr. Kerr,
You have another pooled contribution willing to match yours.
