    <description>I agree with nalaa28 and F_L,&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Obviously the disaster is huge, but world governments will be donating millions, and the larger charities such as Red Cross etc WILL be helping out over there.  As a taxpayer I believe it is the duty of our government to help out with some millions too.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
The likely charity fund from the eBay unclaimed prizes will be small, and such a tiny percentage will, realistically go unnoticed in such a huge scale operation.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
This small sum could make a huge difference to a small struggling local charity.  &lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
I still vote for the winner's choice.  All charities, as we can see from this thread, are in with a chance.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
P.S.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Without wishing to cast aspesions on the good work of the Red Cross, I called and made a credit card donation in response to one of their televised appeals during an earthquake disaster, and now they will not leave me alone.&lt;BR /&gt;
They telephone me and mail me constantly begging for more, or for a regular commitment.  I would not discourage donating, but I would suggest an anonymous method, ie, pay into a fund at a bank, send a postal order, whatever, just do not tell them who you are unless you ALWAYS want to donate.</description>

      <description>Definitely agree with Mrs FL - they should go to a childrens' charity.  They need all the help they can get and Christmas is really for children.</description>

      <description>I would like to see it donated to any charities that help the homeless. This is the time of year when we all over indulge while these people have nothing no family no home no warmth.</description>

      <description>Definately a childrens charity - but any of the items which are aimed at adults ie: coffee machines should be auctioned off and the money should be spent on toys or medical equipment or something else for kids. I think people will generally be pleased with any childrens charity.</description>

      <description>Hi everyone&lt;BR /&gt;
            Would like to start by wishing everyone a happy christmas.&lt;BR /&gt;
 Being an Aunty to a terminally ill quadriplegic teenager, i know how important respite care is, not just for the carer, but also the child.&lt;BR /&gt;
  All parents will understand how tiring it can be, with a newborn baby, totally dependent on you for it's every need. The first few months being the hardest. Now imagine that scenario seven days a week for the next thirteen years and in my nephews case hopefully longer.&lt;BR /&gt;
  I would like to nominate the Butterwich Hospice in Stockton, Teeside, who provide much needed respite, and have been a great help, to my sister and her family over the years.</description>
