The married costars are helping raise funds for four children, ages 8 to 19, who found themselves parent-less when their mother and father died within months of each other last year.

The TV couple found out about the Darnell family when a mutual friend informed them about their plight.

The four Darnell children lost a sibling and were left orphaned on August 30, 2010 when their mother, 43-year-old Missy Darnell and Genevieve Darnell, their 10-year-old sister, were struck and killed by a car while walking to a local convenience store. The children had lost their father eight months prior.

The True Blood fan site SimplyMoyer.com has organized an eBay auction for the script. It starts Valentine's Day Monday, February 14th and ends on Wednesday, February 23.

Stephen and Anna were happy to help, even posing for an exclusive photo holding the autographed script.

The acting pair have already raised $2,280 for the Darnells from a previous auction last October.

The script they are donating this time is from episode 3.12, "Evil Is Going On", and is signed by Moyer, Paquin, and true Blood creator Alan Ball.

Anna Paquin shocked her True Blood fans when she came out as being bisexual.

Her announcement was part of a PSA called Give a Damn put out April 1 by the gay rights organization, True Colors Fund.

But only now is the actress offering an explanation as to why she chose to make her sexual orientation public, RadarOnline.com can report.

"I'm not someone who endlessly talks about her personal life for no reason but obviously, as someone who identifies as bisexual, those are issues I really care about -- and frankly, I don't see why everyone doesn't care about them," she told Zap2it. "So when I was asked to participate in that PSA, it was just obvious. 'Well, of course I will'."

Paquin, who is engaged to marry her True Blood costar Stephen Moyer, added that the campaign for equal rights for people of all sexual orientations is something she "cared about and privately supported, but not one that I had ever had an opportunity to speak out about in a way that would be useful. I just wanted to do my bit."
