Stephenie Meyer commends 'Twilight' fans for their Haiti relief efforts

Today, Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer issued a nice message for fans on her website, updating us all as to her latest book and music recommendations. She started the note going, though, by expressing her appreciation for the work being done by "the world in general and Twilight fansites in specific" for the cause of relief for the victims of the Haiti earthquake disaster.
Of course, what she's referring to is the tireless efforts of Twilight and cast fansites in raising awareness for the goings-on in Haiti during and after the most brutal of moments for the victims of the country's earthquake(s).
The fansites bonded together instantaneously to cooperate in the effort at raising awareness for the cause. Naturally, this inspired a great deal of response from fans, and, in turn, much of the cast was motivated to participate in their own, unique ways. Rachelle Lefevre donated blood and participated in the "Hope for Haiti" Canadian telethon. Robert Pattinson presented at London's "Hope for Haiti" telethon, and Taylor Lautner and Anna Kendrick showed up to answer phone in L.A.'s. Tinsel Korey and Kellan Lutz joined together to donate clothes to a drive sponsoring Haiti relief efforts (which was endorsed by Ashley Greene, too).
So, far, it is estimated that these fansite efforts have helped to raise over $25,000 $65,000. As Stephenie Meyer put it, "wonderful people."
Meyer added a plea for everyone to remember that it isn't over just yet. "I think it's important for all of us to remember that the situation in Haiti is not going to be cured overnight, so... keep up the good work, and let's all keep the Haitians in our thoughts and prayers."
A comprehensive listing of how to help is available here.
