Tuesday, April 17th 2007 4:20PM Students seeks to assist their own Charles R. Barrineau, CT Reporter Tragedy can bring out either the best or worst in people, and some in the Virginia Tech community are hoping that Monday's events bring out the best in the Hokie Nation and public at-large. Jonathan Worrell and J.T. Wilkinson have created a website, donateVT.com, to help those affected by Monday's shootings within the Blacksburg community. "Around six o'clock pacific I turned on NBC and the first thing I see in huge bold red letters ÎMassacre at Virginia Tech," said Worrell, a 2005 graduate. "That hit me pretty hard, so I started talking to one of my friends, J.T. (Wilkinson) who is a computer science major, and I asked him how easily could he put together a website and he said it would be easy to do." Wilkinson said he was not at all hesitant to lend his services to his friend and those affected. "Instantly it seemed like a great idea," said Wilkinson, currently a student. "I, pretty much, instantly agreed to help him with it. It was just a question of how much time I'd be able to put in with my schoolwork and everything." With classes being canceled for the remainder of the week, Wilkinson may have some spare time to work on it as early as today. He and Worrell hope to get the site up and running as soon as possible. Even if the site does get up and running soon, it is not currently registered as a charitable organization, but Worrell pledges that all money received will go to help those affected. Although he can't give any concrete assurances, he gives what he can. "If I took any money from this, I would be the sickest person in the world," Worrell said. It is possible that this site, and others like it, will become operational in the near future and provide those wishing to donate money to those affected by Monday's events with a method in which to do so.
