To help the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, Postcrossing is raising donations which will be sent to the Red Cross society of China. As a bonus, we will send a set postcards to the first 100 people who donate over 15 US dolars or 10 euros.
For more details, please visit the Sichuan Earthquake relief page we have set up.
All help is appreciated. Thank you!

what a great initiative! i've donated too
This is a beautiful thing! I sent my donation, too :)
What a great idea to create this way for us to help. I doubt I was one of the first 100 to donate but I'm curious if I was, how would Postcrossing know who I am or my address? I used my existing Paypal account and I thought they do not share addreses. Was I supposed to be logged in first before making my donation?
Thanks again for setting this up.
I just saw this post on a blog:

It's a comparison between the number of homeless people as a result of the Sichuan earthquake and the number of habitants in certain american cities.
Wow! It really puts things in perspective.
Hi Rachel, all the donations count, no matter the currency.
