I did this for Japan, but now in my own country there's a lot of suffering going on now as well. There's flooding disasters and we've had a record tornado breakout that has killed many and left thousands without anything. An entire town was wiped out in the beginning of this week by one tornado, in minutes. I feel like I'm asking too much of everyone, but even if you can pass the word around to people who -can- do this, who have some loose change to spare.. maybe these people can get some peace of mind again.
The Red Cross always helps, you can go to
www.redcross.org. I think this is sadly the only international organization I know.
Feeding America:
www.feedingamerica.org will donate food to the towns affected.
The Salvation Army:
www.salvationarmy.org These guys have been bringing truckloads of supplies down to the affected places. I also donate personal things such as clothes and such on a regular basis to these guys.
I'd offer art for donations if I could, but for now this is all I can do. Thanks for reading if you got this far, and spread the word if you can.
And if you know of any other charities, please let me know.
Thank you for posting this,
I'm glad to anyone and everyone who helps toward this. It really means the world to know you guys care.
♥ Thank you I now
I now drive by destruction every time I commute between college and home. It's been over a month and it still looks like it just happened. Places are just gone.
I saw a video of the tornado in Tuscaloosa and the guys filming going into the rubble immediately after. A hysterical woman ran up to them and was just shattered. Her dog had been killed and she could hear people screaming... I cried that whole night.
Useless post, but I just want to offer another "close to home" perspective.
I approve of this message

Thank you so much, Eye. I
Thank you, Okami. I donated
Unfortunately paypal payments can't be doubled through Americares but if anyone would like to donate through credit card or bank account transaction, they will match your payment dollar for dollar.
