Hey there!
So as some of you know, and many of you probably don’t, Australia is going through some pretty rough times right now, specifically in the state of Queensland. Floods and inland tsunamis have been ripping through over the past couple of weeks, destroying homes and businesses, with the death toll currently at 22 with many more people missing. This doesn’t just affect Australia, but also a lot of other countries as Queensland is one of the major providers of wheat and coal for the world, and with the wheat crops ruined, and mines unable to function, many countries will be set back. You can read more information about the floods here and here
Due to the devastating events happening in Australia, we’re running a donation drive.
If you donate towards a floods charity, such as the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal or RSPCA QLD (because the pets there are suffering too) and show me the receipt as proof of donation by sending it to [email protected], each dollar you donate is worth one credit toward getting special donation pets. If you have another donation site/payment method in mind and are unsure, you’re welcome to send me a message to check. The donation pets, with thanks to Kassa (#1288) for designing them:
Floods Ippo 5 Credits | Floods Lunaris 10 Credits | Floods Vion : 15 Credits
In addition, the person with the highest ‘credit’ amount at the end of this week will win either a custom Vion or Lunaris (whichever they would prefer) with up to 50% edits. If there are two people with the same credit amount at the end, I’ll take it to random.org. The current highest amount will be recorded on my profile and updated at the end of each day (and within the last hours on the last day) for those that are interested.
If you have any questions, drop me a line. :)
edit: Also, the Ippo is really pretty on a black background. ;D
edit2: Working on fixing the links Links fixed - also, if you could include your Aywas name + ID in the email, that would be great. I'm sadly not a great detective. >_> If you've already sent me one without those two things, just send me a message and I'll send you your pets. :)

Glad to hear there is a relief fund as the government has earlier declined aid.

on the govt site they have the "Premiers Disaster Relief Appeal". Is that what you meant to link to? Or is this another one?

Awesome idea, and to a really important and worthy cause. Quick question regarding the highest credit amount bit. Is it an overall count of how much we donated, then spent on the customs? Or how many credits we have? To clarify, can we spend the credits and still be counted for having the highest count?

I actually have a question about the site itself...is the donation page for online payments in AUD? And if so...are credits awarded per AUD donated, or USD equivalent?

This is fantastic! I hope people consider donating to the Queensland RSPCA (https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/) which is the only charitable organisation helping people's pets, livestock, and native wildlife. They lost their entire vet clinic to the floods :(
