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. :)

Can someone PLEASE find a donation site that takes PayPal? I have 7 dollars in my PayPal that can't be transferred to my ban k account (Which has, like, 85 cents currently XD).

It's stuff like this that really makes me respect people on Aywas. I'm glad people are donating, even if it's just 'cause they want the pets.

I've been trying to find other sites to donate to. Trouble is, I need them to be reliable. I don't want to be sending people to unreliable sites.

I went to the link to donate to the RSPCA and clicked the link at the bottom to donate but this came up. I'm not sure if its just because I'm on a wireless network right now, but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue?

As an Australian this is really nice to see :D. I would just like to remind everyone that there are some pretty terrible floods in Brazil at the moment as well and they probably need the help more than we do.

Snuggle - I went there to check if I got a similar message, but didn't.
I would say that it's a trusted site and just could be your connection and/or your firewall you have.

The reason I specifically asked Slash to do a donation drive for this is because I have family in Brisbane, and some really good friends over there. I'm not denying there are other places that need help more, but I doubt there would be any donation drive anytime soon otherwise.

No Paypal?
I'd like to help but i'm not sure to want to use my CC on insecure site...
Can we donate to these associations via Aywas?
You sell tickets for X amount of dollars and you give the profit back to them.

I don't live in Qld but it has been devastating to watch and hear how bad it it. Many people have lost everything they own.
