noneedofcrepe's example and offered myself up to help out Haiti. I can't say it any better than she so I've quoted her post with permission.
Yesterday Haiti got hit by a 7.0 earthquake - thousands of people lost their lives, the island is in ruins, and the people there need help. All over the world there are organisations set up to help the survivors, but I was still feeling like I didn't have a way to actually DO anything. Until I found![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
help_haiti.
I know most of the people on my flist are poor college students, I am too, but this community is really amazing. Lots of fans from all fandoms with all sorts of talents are coming together there to auction off their work and all the money goes toward relief organisations for Haiti.
Even though I'm not a big name in the HP fandom, I really want to give this a shot, and I'm glad to have the chance to help. I am auctioning off a piece of my art - the starting bid is only $5 and none of the money goes to me, it all goes to Haiti. If you are in any way able to bid or to auction off something of your own, every bit helps. You can see my offer HERE.
Obviously no one's under any pressure to bid on mine but everyone please go check out the comm and spread the word, maybe someone you know has the spare cash or can auction something too. Being fans means we love something, whatever it is, so much we have to express it and be with other people who love it too. I think a huge group of those types of people really can make a difference. ♥
Definitely check out her offer, she is an amazing artist, but if you like, check out mine as well.

I'm so glad that fandom is really reaching out and pulling together to raise support and awareness for this.
