I have a great idea on how we can all thank FansProject for spreading the awareness...
How about we all donate one more time without the aid of a motivator? Maybe, they thought this would get the ball rolling, and that the fandom (with disposable income and a job) would be willing to keep donating every month by not going on gas guzzling "hunts" and use that gas money on people with no homes, clean clothes, food, or water.
Or maybe I need to find my crazy pills...
If I gotta pull on heart strings then I will, but thanking FansProject's effort without the intention to keep donating, I believe, is counter to their initial intent. Red Cross relieves all disasters... Haiti included along with the earthquake in Argentina, and several efforts in non-glorified areas of the world.
Please continue to help the red cross as there are several people not only in Japan that need ... the pennies we toss into fountains. Or continue to help out the homeless shelters in your area - or the inner cities 30 minutes away from your area. FansProject's message is about them giving their time, effort, talent, and the immeasurable to those whom need it it the most... they may never repay you with gifts or money, but you gotta ask yourself - how much do we really need these things? Imagine saving or aiding a person with the potential to cure cancer, or aids, or something we cant even fathom today. At this point in our history, money is the most relevant purpose of existence; what if today we started to flip that, so that our honor of every persons well being becomes the realization an optimist's dream - being that: the purpose of life is living for and not against each other.
This is what Blesser means to me... I did this selfishly, but I think, strangely, a switch has been flipped.
