Alabama Tornado Disaster Relief
by Brutus Martinek
On Wednesday, April 27th, a wave of tornadoes swept across Alabama, and other southern states, causing devastation and hundreds of fatalities.
Alabama has lost close to 300 people so far to this disaster, and others are still missing.
Thousands of homes have been destroyed, and have left people displaced and struggling to find shelter and even the most basic of necessities.
I know everyone is busy, and coming up with exclusives and organizing all of it takes time. I also want those who are not designers/creators in sl to be able to help as well.
With that being said, we will be holding a yard sale. This will consist of donated items being sold, of which ALL profits will go to the Red Cross 2011 Alabama Tornado Response.
I, Brutus Martinek, will provide full reciept proof that every cent went to Alabama’s local Red Cross.
Donated items can consist of transferable items you have, but don’t want anymore.. or if you are a content creator you may put something out that you have created.
All proceeds from any of these sales will 100% be donated.
If you would like to participate, send me (Brutus Martinek) a notecard with your name, and what you will be donating.
Transferable items you no longer want, content created by you, or both.
I will then send you full information on what the next step will be.
All transferable items will be checked to
ensure they are not copybotted, or previous freebies.
Feel free to invite anyone you know to do participate, everyone is welcome!

I know there has been benefit after benefit for so many international causes. SL is an international community – please don’t be desensitized and feel like this is “just another fundraiser”…these people have lost not only their homes but the infrastructure to their towns. Like the disaster in Japan, while finding a cure or funding research/services/medical personnel is vital to so many causes that are all important, these people need our help now. Imagine losing every single thing you own – just having the clothes on your back. You can’t find your purse, not even a toothbrush, no food, no running water, no phone to call for help, settle insurance claims, etc. no way to get news. Sleeping in a shelter – a big tent with cots. It’s terrible.
Please consider supporting this cause. Yes, I have loved ones affected by this, if you can’t tell 🙂
Thanks for that.I am from Alabama.. about 4 hours from Tuscaloosa. Luckily we had no tornadoes here. I’m sorry for any losses you have suffered, and every cent of the profits from this will go straight to the affected area.
