我能为地震再多做点什么？ - 未名空间(mitbbs.com)

Hi there,

As you may know, a powerful earthquake has killed more than 12,000 people
and nearly 19,000 victims buried or missing in China’s south-western
Sichuan province, which is my home town province. Thanks god that all my
families in there are all safe.

I am calling for donation to help people, especially many young primary and
middle school students who are still buried under the crushed building and
waiting for the help. I attached several photos in this email and also here
is one of the links that can give you some details: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,355247,00.html

If you will make the donation, I will strongly recommend that you please use
SVNT(Silicon Valley Tsinghua Network). There are several reasons that my
husband and I made the donation through it:

1. SVTN wires the fund (100%) directly to China Red Cross.

2. SVTN is a registered non-profit organization and the whole process seems
very transparent.

3. Donation is tax deductable.

4. Some companies might match the donation.

5. Another important reason: Jiangyi Pan (Joey, our friend) is one of the
leaders there. So we can trust this organization totally.


You could donate using one of three methods showed below:

1. Donate by wire transfer:
Bank name: Washington Mutual
Payee title: SVTN (special fund for earthquake relief)
Routing #: 322271627
Acct #: 3170415745

Address:
690 RIVER OAKS PKWY
SAN JOSE, CA 95134-1905

2. Donate by check:

SVTN
Attn: China Earthquake Relief
P. O. Box 1295
Fremont, CA 94538-0129
USA

Please make your check payable to SVTN. Please indicate “China Earthquake
Relief” in the memo area of the check.

3. Donate by Paypal:
Please pay to: tsinghua_foundation@yahoo.com
Pay to China Earthquake Relief .


Thank you very much and God bless all of us.

Later, one of my colleagues mentioned that there is a easier way to do it.
so I send another email about the link. Just share the email and link with
all of you:

Hi there,

Courtney just sent me the link that this should be the easiest way to make
the donation by credit card. It just like that you are shopping on line.

You simply input the amount that you want to donate in the upper left
corner and click “Donate”. Then it will directly take you to the check out
page. Simply input your credit card information then it is done.

But you always have the option to give the check to me too.

Thanks,
