that you can donate for Ali's cause on SixDegrees and guess what!!! INTERNATIONALS CAN DONATE NOW TOO!!! If you have paypal and if you haven't but you have a credit-card it is so easy to set an account up, please do.
So, no more excuses that you can't pay the 10 dollars(or more of course) since you do not know anyone from the USA, you, yes YOU can make a change yourself TODAY!
***edited*** Yesterday I read this comment on Ali's blog and it meant so much too me:
Whoa - so many responses! I've been reading you blog for a few weeks now, and I thought it was great, about your badge. BUT, I didn't donate. Why? you may ask? I thought, I don't have autistic children. Autism has not touched my life.
And then.
And then, I read this, on a friends website:
***
First, they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist.
Then, they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I am not Jewish.
Then, they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I am a Protestant.
Then, they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me.
***
That made my jaw drop. I immediately thought of you, your family, and how hard you are working for the things you believe in. I'm off to donate to your totally awesome badge, so I can help be a voice for Simon, for so many other children, that someday they may be a voice for others.
The end is tonight, for us Dutchies around 6 on Sunday morning, so do not hesitate too long.
A big THANK YOU from me and my family for everyone who participates for this cause.
