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. :)

No, these pets don't count towards scav, I felt that would be unfair.
Yes, the Premier's Relief thing is for the floods.
Um.. I would imagine it's USD if that's how you pay, or AUD if you live in Australia. Not 100% sure though. xD
You get the pets, and the total goes towards the donation drive for the custom. :)
You need to pay separately. For instance, $15 could get you the Vion /or/ the Lunaris + Ippo. $30 gets you all of them.

That's for donating via banking, though, not through something like Paypal. :s *keeps looking for alternatives*

Just as a note. D8 I love the symbolism on the Lunaris. It's rather clever~ Am I right in saying that it is saying something about people gathering around water? D8 I think? My aboriginal symbols might be a bit rusty~

Krypto, I'm not sure, sorry, Kassa designed them all with me tossing the word 'water' at her. xD

The site takes it in AUD, but your credit card company should make the conversion for you

Is there a way to use Paypal on there? I'm a little paranoid with my card since I had my ID stolen before, but I would really love to donate. ^^;;

OMG Aeth thank you for putting the RSPCA link in the post! It's been my big crusade every time we have another new Australian Natural Disaster.

Just curious how do we claim our pets? Is there a credit shop or are we supposed to request it when we sent the reciept? xD
Posted on: Wed Jan 19, 2011 11:19pm
Tsee, they have an International donation section, so I would think (assuming here) that you would be able to donate in USD and it would then get converted to AUD. I could be way off base though.
