there are SO many people who have been left homeless by the hurricane - over a MILLION. and there is so much medical care, food, and other help needed.
i'm thinking it's a very good time to donate to the red cross they do a great job every time, and you can donate as little as $5! you probably have an extra $5 left in your epassporte right now... so click here to donate to the red cross!

Frankly I would like to see ANOTHER service come along and get to be as popular as Red Cross once in an organized fashion to get the help to those that need it. There are so many charities these days, it's almost dizzifying (is that a word) as to WHO to give to.
give to charities who spend more to help and not on themselves.
Red Cross is a good choice. Im trying to find my fucking card it's buried somewhere but I plan to send them money since that's what they want so they can buy the things needed over there.
The Red Cross needs a better webhost. The page isn't loading for me.
Nevermind. It's loading now but it's really slow. Hopefully it's because people are overwhelming it with donations.
There are so many charities... so if you're not sure how the ones you give money to rate... check this site

Instapundit is keeping a nicely explained selection of charities on his front page.

I wonder why google and all the other major sites don't have donation links on their front pages like the did with the tsunami?
