Help for flood victims.

As you all have certainly noticed, after 1997(Oder), 1999(Elbe) and 2002(Elbe) again a flood disaster has struck Germany(Saale+Elbe).
Many people, friends...have lost much, in the worst case, everything.
Their entire villages, their homes, their animals... Their livelihoods. For some of the victims this is the third time.
I feel the need deep in my heart to help. To do this I need your help.
I would like to make a small contribution, and launch a fundraising campaign. Anyone who wants to help is welcome. No funds are required, but if you want to help, then do so with that what unites us all around the world. Through our common hobby giant pumpkins. We have worldwide attention. Our hobby is continuing to grow and we move closer and closer together around the world. Therefore special emphasis is placed on our seeds which are of the highest quality.
If you want to support me and my fundraiser, then do this with a small seed, something that can work wonders.
It does not matter if it is pumpkin, squash, long gourd, field pumpkins or tomatoes. Every donation is gratefully accepted. Of course I am hoping for a large participation of many growers, all over the world.
Whether you are a world record holder, national, state, local or new grower all donations are welcome.

Following is the sequence of my action/auction.

Via e-mail you can sign up with what it is you are willing to donate. After a period of 2 weeks, I will list all donations and publish this list with the following title:
"Pumpkin growers from all over the world come together to help the flood victims in Germany"
For a period of 10 days, bids on each lot can be made by e-mail to me. This will be a silent seed auction.
Bids will be updated every hour! After expiry of a period of 10 days, the winners will be announced. Winner of the lot is the highest bidder!
Now comes yet a request to all donors, if they allow.
The seeds which will be donated to be sent directly to the winner after a successful auction.
So, the donor sends the seeds to the winner of the lot. This saves enormous time and especially money.
After successful receipt of payment on a later named account, the donor of the seed will be informed and will be sent the address of the winner.
Please take part only in this relief effort, if you agree with the terms and conditions.
I am already making a promise, every cent from this auction goes directly to the flood victims.
I will publish the passing of the check so that everyone can see where the money has gone.
I already look forward to hopefully a full e-mail inbox and would like to thank all, who will be helping.
