Don't take this negative, but i would like to give a comment on this. Don't think i am trying to ignore how serious this situation is, and this is not a personal remark to you.

Yes, there are a lot of people needing help out there, and yes they will need money also to get help. But.....i don't think it is a question of only money at this time, there should also be a trustworthy organisation that could do something with that money NOW (if that is the motivation for your rush). from what i have seen i don't believe that any available help is not given because of a lack of money, but more due to many other reasons. This would take away the motivation for your 'NOW' call.

I am sure that once things get organized and help CAN be given, the official Aid organisations will be providing an official donation programm, and i have no doubt that there will be given attention to it here.


PS Let's not forget about all the other big and small disasters happening all over the world every day.
