1. I think the site is being overwhelmed- which is a good thing....K&R
I've been waiting for it to load the donate now page for about 3 minutes- clearly Keith's magic is working! Come on DU=- if you can, donate. And they need volunteers so if you're in New Orleans, they can probably use you. Wish the'y'd come to Florida...

2. Yeah, they are being slammed
I'm sure it will slow down in a bit so keep trying. It's important.

I would love for Keith to announce tomorrow that they've reached their goal. The work these clinics are doing is amazing. Countless lives are saved at each one.

7. I'm glad to see this posted.
I was going to post today if it wasn't here.

I will try to donate later in the day. If you are in the area, please consider volunteering. I volunteered in a non-medical capacity at the Hartford CT clinic in February and highly recommend it. Although they are certainly in need of medical personnel, they also need non-medical personnel to help set up and break down the operation, be patient escorts, etc. This group is extremely well organized and it was a pleasure to work with them and the other volunteers.

10. If I remember correctly
they were about $200,000 short and 600 people had already signed up to be treated. The health clinic could easily spend a whole week in New Orlens fer crying out loud.

Please keep this kicked!
