No one expected a re-occurrence of this magnitude, but as Christchurch lies in tatters and its residents struggle to come to terms with and cope with this tragedy there is something we audiofreaks can do to help.
KiwiRCM manufacturer Ralph Brayham has generously decided to donate $100 from the sale of each machine sold between 22 Feb and 31 Mar, his site also has a Paypal link to allow donations directly to the Canterbury Earthquake Appeal.
Various organisations are also appealing for cash donations to help the stricken city. This is logical as it will mean products will be purchased locally, helping those businesses that are still operating and supporting Christchurch’s shattered economy.
Online donations can be made at the following websites:

One of the biggest things people can do to support Canterbury and all its small businesses (employing the bulk of Canterbury people) is to shop with Canterbury businesses.
