Oh man, Women's Refuge is absolutely legit.

imaginarycircus March 1 2011, 06:27:50 UTC

I believe that they are, which is why I included them in the news post.

starshone_storm March 1 2011, 06:28:46 UTC

Yup yup, this is just in response to your noting that they're not vetted or international - I'm a Kiwi, I've seen their work.

If I thought they were a scam I would not have mentioned them at all. But when asking people to donate thousands of dollars from all over the world we felt we needed to be very careful about which charities we chose. We erred on the side of caution. Believe me if it were up to me alone they'd be in and the Salvation Army would be out. But it's not up to just me and we made guidelines and we have to stick to them.

Wow, that's awesome!

imaginarycircus March 1 2011, 06:50:33 UTC

It's a great start!

Wow, this is so doing so great.

Also, you'll need to add another $3 v-gift from an icon set bought from me by purple_dolphin9" in the first Lightning Round, and I'm not sure if it will count or not... but the donation I put through should (or could?) bring your NZ total value up about an extra $NZ10.40 as my brother donated some to the wonderful cause at the same time as me. I'm not sure if you'd like to add what he included to the tally, but thought I'd give the heads up just in case.

Pardon the inability to edit... by purple_dolphin9.

I'll add to the first commenter: Women's Refuge is a very well known charity here in NZ, and one I support. However they may not be easy to donate to from overseas like the others.

Sorry to be so late, but if I understood well, we can still offer items? :)

malana March 1 2011, 16:15:56 UTC

Yep. Just find the appropriate post (words, art, etc) and go ahead and post your offer. You aren't late at all.

aruna7 March 1 2011, 16:57:47 UTC

Thank you very much for your answer! I went ahead and offered some arts. =)

malana March 1 2011, 17:14:24 UTC

Fantastic! Always happy to have more.
