beanie_j for the sunrise LJ gift on my profile! LJ is selling these for Mental Health Awareness month this May, and the proceeds go to the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance.-
If you're looking for a place to donate to help the people in Burma that were hit by the cyclone, MoveOn.org is recommending the International Burmese Monks Organization, one of the few relief organizations that can get aid into the country and distribute it.

On the Burma issue, I believe DWB/MSF are already in there as well.
I do hope that you are feeling better. Thanks for the links to help with the Myanmar disaster, too.
