I just don't know if it's that simple, you know? Maybe I'm making it too complicated. But then, it did give me a nice excuse to show off.

It would sell like hotcakes (do hotcakes actually sell that fast?)<br /><br />2. Little kids have been creating fundraisers for these disasters off the wall. One little girl started selling really simply made bead bracelets for $2 minimum a piece and sent the money to Haiti. Some people gave $40 and took one bracelet. They were just beads on a string! If he does really good photography and he's a kid wanting to do something great, you can easily get the word out, set up a webpage, and the donations will come in (at least the news makes it sound that easy). The key is to get the word out. You might want to call somebody from the local newspaper for ideas.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834508116846599389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607828889416086008.post-40506172768058043542010-01-27T13:38:45.762-07:002010-01-27T13:38:45.762-07:00Your son is awesome, and he is making me cry!

You add your photos to the group and set a closing date for the auction. The winner has to send you a copy of the confirmation e-mail that they sent their money to the charity you specified, and you send them back the print. Maybe David could try that?kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404879624389437991noreply@blogger.com
