I'm not saying what anyone should or shouldn't do at all.
This link is for donations that will go towards survivors, buying medical aid, whatever is needed.
And it will go to the families of the dead, be they workers or the emergency teams that died trying to rescue people.

There is a link there.
Please, I am not telling you to donate anything, I am merely providing a link in case you do want to.
Thank you.

Maybe if you didn't keep putting your foot in your mouth, people might take you slightly more seriously.
You could at least visit and read the link before you start spitting out such outrageous comments to someone who has lost a relative in the disaster.
Goatboy did not set up this link, it is an official relief fund. PayPal make NO PROFIT from the money donated.

I will ignore that comment out of respect for the people on these forums and because right now I dont have any fight left in me.
This link is nothing do with me, I merely put it here in case anyone wants to do something but doesn't know where to start.
Please consider your comments in future big_slow, as they cause great offence to someone that has lost a relative in this tragedy.

I honestly would but I am skint.
As much as I would love to donate there is no possible way I actually can. I'm not old enough to have a credit card or a debit card and I can't see any other way of being able to pay for it. The only thing I can do is send my feelings to the families of the injured or murdered.
Damn, only Visa and Mastercard. If anyone knows of one where I can pay by Switch then I'm more than willing.
I didn't put that link there to say "You must donate! If you do not, you are evil and do not care"
I just put it there because it is a way for people to donate if they want to, and if they can afford to.
Nobody should think any less of themselves if they don't, for whatever reason.
That's the only one I knew about so I put the link there.
And in case anyone is wondering, I have absolutely nothing to do with PayPal.
Please please don't feel that you are any less concerned or caring because you either can't or don't want to.
Nobody should be forced into donating money if they aren't 100% sure it's the thing they want to do.
I just felt like I had to do something, but that's my personal thing.
And for those that are donating, or doing anything at all, regardless of whether it's money or kind words to people, we can all be proud.
The way this forum and the people around this planet have come together has proved to me, despite the horror, that we are a decent race.
It doesn't matter if you donate money or not, you have done yourselves proud in respecting those that are no longer here, expressed your emotions on theses forums and everything else.
And for the messages you guys have sent to me, I can honestly say they have me in tears.
You guys dont know me really, don't have any need to be sympathetic at all.
But I thank each and every one of you for your words and thoughts, they mean more than you can ever, ever know.
Thank you.
