About Ya’an Earthquake

When Boston is still trying to walk out from the shadow of Marathon Bombing, a natural disaster befell China. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Ya An in Sichuan province on April 20th, 2013. This catastrophe has cost at least 192 deaths and more than 11000 injuries. The lack of shelter, medical care, food as well as clean water makes the situation even worse.

We share the same feeling no matter how far away we are. Now, it’s the time to take action, to help those who are still suffering from the catastrophe to step out of this nightmare. Right here, right now, Harvard Chinese Students and Scholars Association (HCSSA)  initiates the donation for the stricken region of this earthquake. May our modest contribution bring love, hope, and strength to the people of Ya’An!

For news coverage, see for example:

New York Times

The Huffington Post

South China Morning Post

Where will the donation go?

We choose Fundly.com as our platform so that we can have a convinient, transparent and easy-to-share means of helping the Ya’an earthquake relief and rebuild.

Of the total amount received, the Fundly.com platform takes out 7.9% fees (including credit card fees). The rest will be sent directly to the Chinese Consulate General in New York, where donations from various sources will be gathered and sent to the “Ya An Earthquake Relief Special Account” under the Chinese Ministry of Finance via the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The receipt of donation from the Chinese Consulate General in New York will be posted on this page.

A few note on the donation process

(1) Limit on donation amount

We believe any help or good wish from friends overseas will go a long way in the hearts of those in the areas struck by the earthquake.

Unfortunately Fundly.com has a minimum transaction amount of USD$10. We seek your kind understanding.

(2) You can opt to be an anonymous donor. Look for the option under the amount textbox.
