Daily Kos :: Make a Difference to An Innocent Iraqi Today

"I am happy to report that there is something very real that I (and hopefully some of you as well) can do to help those Iraqis whom the Administration refers to as 'collateral damage'.

Raed, (from "where's Raed" fame) an Iraqi blogger, has set up an Emergency Victims Relief Fund on his blog. You can donate through paypal (the button is on the upper right at his blog), western union, or bank transfer, and the money is used directly for medical supplies and other necessities."

This is the most recent shipment of meds that Raed bought with the Fund. They were shipped to the refugee camp of Garma, which is just outside of Fallujah. I have absolutely no doubt, whatsoever, that these medical supplies saved lives and were a godsend to quite a number of people.

As you all are aware, Relief Organizations have been leaving Iraq in droves because of the security situation, making it more and more difficult for those caught in the crossfire to get the help they need and deserve. If this isn't our responsibility, I just don't know what is. Let's show these Iraqis that there are some in America who have not forgotten their plight. Let's do something real. Please donate whatever you can afford to this fund. Thank you and God Bless.
