Help save a life, and feed people!

[Musashi]

If this is the wrong place to put this, feel free to move it. :o

But I thought I should post this cause there's lotsa people here, and it only takes a couple seconds to help. It's totally safe, virus-free, no giving any money, nothing but a quick download. The more often you can do it (though I think you need to wait 24 hours between each download for it to count), the better. :D

So here's the infooooo:

"There is a LJ/IJ user, Redscorner, who is very ill. She needs some serious surgeries. While her life isn't in danger from the illness RIGHT NOW, that could change. She needs help. Megaupload is offering $10k to users who manage to get 5 million downloads.

She has uploaded a very small, virus-free text file here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5QBOA940

If you wish to help out, please download the file. She's not asking for any monetary contributions, only for help reaching that 5,000,000 download mark.

For details, check out her community, which can be found at http://community.livejournal.com/projectdownload/ "

Please help? ;___; *Pawpawpaws and makes the big watery kitty eyes*

As you can see, I changed the subject line, cause I just learned about this:

Play a word game, it generates ads on the page, which generate money to donate rice! It's free and educational for you, and feeds people in need! Go for it, doods! :D

I'll do what I can, by downloading every day, since that seems to help towards her count.

El downloaded for today.

[Stellar]

Touching, I'll download it as often as I can remember to.

[Musashi]

W00t! Awesome :D Thanks for downloading!

Let's keep it up, yeah? Download download download! Spread the word!

LET'S GET OUR HELP ON! *Puts on a helmet* CHAAAAAAARGE! INTO BATTLE! @_______@

Well, it seems like the funding would be needed before the start of December or so, and I really don't think getting the required downloads by then is remotely possible, seeing as how many downloads have been acquired in a little over a month or so.

If the surgery is needed so badly I don't see why it can't still be done and get a bill. That's how I've usually seen it work: get something done, get released, get bill. I thought that'd especially be the case for those whose lives are in the balance but I guess I wouldn't be surprised with money up-front business.

It can be possible if we try really hard! Positive attituuuuude! :D

Oh, and here's the official website: http://projecterin.com/

Nekkid~ Nearly all places require some sort of down payment. From reading the downloaded document that's all she's aiming for right now, not the full price of the surgeries.

Like musa said, anything's possible =p (the past two weeks of my life have proven that) and despite the numbers she has so far I think she can pull it off given more time (despite not having too much time).

[Musashi]

She got an increase in downloads and stuff yesterday cause this author dood, Neil Gaiman, showed her link on his site. Like 2,000 downloads in one day, as of her LJ post about it. See? The word just needs to be spread! :D

Also, I edited the original post to include the donating of free rice, so please take a looky. :3

[Rowan]

Ok, I got up to 700 grains of rice. Have fun with that one guys XD

[Helel]

I'm bumping this for Musa as a reminder that this one is cutting it close now.

Keep downloading peoples. :o

[Stellar]

wow, I feel bad. I completely forgot about this. I left a few notes on my desk so it wont slip my mind again. I hope her condition gets better.
