Hi John,

Just so you know - the check really came in handy. I used it to help with Hurricane Ike evacuation. We got hit hard. I have damages to my home, carport and fencing. We are without power, water, ice, and gas (only 2 gas stations open and lines are 2-3 hours long). Power should be back within 2-6 weeks so it may be awhile before I can upload more photos.

Just to give you a little background on this email I just received. Fern is one of our members and requested a payout by check from Cutcaster about two weeks ago after she sold over $220 in photos. Little did we know how handy that check would come in.

One thing I have to say about this tragedy is that, living in NYC, I thought I wouldn't really be affected by Hurricane Ike outside of watching the utter devastation on TV and giving to the Red Cross to help the victims in a time of need. But starting Cutcaster has opened up my world in ways I could have never predicted and formed friendships with people all over the map. Some of whom were affected by Ike.

This is an almost surreal email for us to get to see how "We", as an entire Cutcaster community, could help someone evacuate from danger's way from a single payout on Cutcaster. I am glad to see our payout go to such an amazing use. I hope you all will take a moment to say a prayer for all the victims of Hurricane Ike and visit the Red Cross to donate anything you can spare.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by Ike.
