Amber Tamblyn has cancelled Christmas to help those in NO:
I am here to say, that the Tamblyn household has officially cancelled it's Christmas/Holiday this year, due to the devastation and disaster in the South.
It would be absolutely selfish and pointless to add another year on of product and "fun stuff", when the body of our country has just had its proverbial leg blown off.
We are losing a ton of blood, with no real help in rescue.
With no sign of a mass effort or front, to salvage the now homeless and suffering, we MUST do what WE can, to help.
So though we are not “surgeons”, we can be aid with some pain relief.
We will be giving all the money that normally goes into our Christmas, to Red Cross and other organizations to support New Orleans, and the surrounding cities.
I encourage anyone to discuss this gesture with their own families, and think about what the Holiday season really stands for.
Even with children in the family, it is a great way to open their young eyes to the importance of support within our own country and abroad, by taking away some of the toys this year, and donating that money for food and clothing.
Explain to them why it is important.
Sponsor a family that now has nothing, not even their health, with the money you were going to buy your husband a new satellite dish with.
You know what I’m sayin?
