Well I have been waiting for the right time to update you on ShelterBox and the response to the tornadoes in the south.
I got some requests a few days ago to start a campaign for ShelterBox due to the tragedy in Japan. I wrote a few pieces but I didn't start a campaign because I didn't think the Daily Kos folks would catch on like last time. Not because you are all heartless, but mostly because with the success of the last ShelterBox campaign was so successful, I think most people here already are aware and are donating.
However I did open an account in the name of the Daily Kos

So you can donate your little heart out or maybe just five bucks but the account is in the name of the Daily Kos ShelterBox so there ya go..... go for it!

I know, I know ...... cutting and pasting is not a diary, but many of you want to know if ShelterBox is gonna help with the devastation in the south.
They are!
