I've been noticing some really inspiring and unique ways that businesses, volunteer groups, and individuals are helping out the victims of the disaster in Asia.

Here (http://www.Resonancelife.com) has launched a very interesting, easy, and creative way to contribute to this crisis. This company, called RESONANCE, is selling a t-shirt and donating the proceeds to a respected humanitarian group with a network already established in that region (OperationUSA).

Now, here is why I think that their approach is unique...

I've observed that in the midst of a catastrophe as big as the one in Asia, I have several questions that keep me from giving:

1. With a catastrophe so huge, how can I help?
2. With a list of organizations so long, who should I donate to?
3. After I give, where is my money spent, and what sort of impact did I make?


This t-shirt released by RESONANCE, LLC, responds to these questions. 100% of the proceeds will go to support Operation USA's current efforts in that region, and the shirt design features the graphics of the exact items that the proceeds from an individual shirt will go.

Here is a brief list, and you can see more details on their product page (http://www.resonancelife.com/product/p_hopem.html)-

+ provide 20 gallons of clean drinking water
+ provide 20 hydration packs
+ provide 20 syringes for medical aid
+ provide a week's supply of antibiotics for two people
+ provide 20 people with food
+ provide material for 1 temporary shelter

Their website is accessible at: www.RESONANCElife.com

Has anyone else found any interesting ways of contributing to this crisis?
