		<description>Nick there is this place 
http://www.lanceandcarlafund.com/

There you can donate money.  If you look at the Yahoo group, some of the messages a bit down were telling how his mom was collecting messages for the hospital guestbook to print and show them</description>

		<description>I know Lance from high school, but I haven&#039;t seen him in years.  I was heartbroken to hear what happened. I&#039;d like to make a contribution and send he and his wife my best wishes, but I can&#039;t seem to find a way to do that from up here in Northern CA.  Anyone have an idea?

		<description>I don&#039;t really know Carla ... I have only spoken with her a few times as an occasional Metro comics customer, but her enthusiasm and engaging personality always shone through ... even during these routine encounters.  While I&#039;m not the sort that generally takes the extra step to get involved in &quot;causes&quot; because of (insert list of lame and self-deluding excuses here), I have found myself inexplicably moved by the tragedy that has struck this couple.  I would therefore like to offer two comic-related items for your benefit auction to help in any small way possible: the first is a signed pencil head-sketch (female) by Terry Moore (of Strangers in Paradise and Echo fame), and the second is a preliminary sketch of four collectible plate designs by (and signed by) the renowned Alex Ross; two of the designs feature Plastic Man while the other two are of Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family.  While I&#039;m a big Plastic Man fan, if this sketch can bring in at auction about what I paid for it (directly from Alex Ross at a convention), I think I would enjoy it more knowing that it helped (in a very small way) someone in need.  If you are interested, it would be convenient for me to drop them off at Metro Comics ... if necessary, I can also provide scans of the items.</description>
