Help for a troubled world

I had to delete the Red Cross / Amazon.com button for tsunami disaster relief due to technical difficulties (i.e., it didn't work).

I know everyone finds the images pouring out of Asia to be heart-wrenching. I have to force myself to look. I live in an earthquake-prone area and can't afford to ignore what's happening on the other side of our small, small planet.

Plosh and I will be making a contribution to relief efforts and I urge everyone to do the same, if you can possibly afford it. Heck, the holiday bills won't come due for another month yet, right?

I'll amend this post later to include links to relief organizations. Thanks.

Mercy Corps

Thanks to the Command Post for many of the entries on this list. Keep checking their blog for further updates of where to donate.
