A plug for Help Pakistan
It's pretty quiet on my flist and I know that I've mostly disappeared from LJ, but I wanted to send out a plug for 
help_pakistan.
It's an auction along thehelp_haiti model, to raise flood relief money for devastated Pakistan. All the funds raised go directly to the aid organizations, no money ever changes hands between offerer and bidder.
Money is tight, I know this so very well. But my stash is mighty! And I love sending presents. So I'm offering up two "swap" boxes, like the one I donated for Help Haiti. This time I've added spinning fiber as an option, too.
This was the box I sent to my Help Haiti winning bidder. It's pretty awesome if I do say so myself. And I do.
The comm is taking listings starting today, and it'll open up for bidding on Monday. People can add listings after Monday, the lead time is just so there's a good assortment to bid on come Monday.
There's too much disaster to go around. There are horrible floods and landslides in China right now, too, although nothing on the scale of Pakistan. I love how these auctions give me a way to help, even just a little.
ETA: Help Pakistan has opened bidding early. People can offer things until the 27th. Bidding will run until 1 minute short of Midnight on Saturday, August 28. Fulfillment is expected by October 1.
