The news out of New Orleans is too awful to bear. This is the worst natural disaster to befall our country. We must do something to help, now.
We are making a donation to the Red Cross Hurricane 2005 Relief Fund. I am asking you to do the same. Give whatever you can.
Debbie and I are starting the Ishbadiddle Relief Fund at $300. Let me know, either by comments to this post or by email, how much you've given to the Red Cross, and we'll add it to the total on the sidebar. If you want to give through another charity, that's fine. The important thing is that we do something.
Do it now. New Orleans needs our help.
Update: The blogosphere is giving. Tthanks to Mark for pointing me to Instapundit's page, who also gets us to the NZ Bear's blog for relief page.
Update: Lynn also suggests helping animals through the humane society, and giving through the Union for Reform Judaism.
Update: Be prepared: If you're a New Yorker you can check out if you are in a potential Hurricane Evacuation Zone and where to go if you need shelter.

You can bump it up by 2C, due to the fact that the members of the Yale Corporation are matching Yale employee donations up to $100/person. That’s right, — it's not Yale who’s matching, ’s the individual members of the Corp. I don’t know the legalities of these things, so how come Yale can’t match as the institution? Is it something about nonPros not being allowed to give charitably?
