tsunami donations

[Mike Cartwright]

If this has been done to death, please accept my apology, I only drop by now every month or two for a minute. As some know I lost my job of about 20 years ago and have been struggling just like a lot of folks. But I have my life, my home (still), and the most wonderful wife in the world. I have enough to eat and drink, I have the medicine I need to stay alive. I have blankets and pets, I have ALL I NEED.... I have looked at assorted charities at: http://www.charitynavigator.org/ I have looked elsewhere as well. I have "PERSONALLY" chosen the following Charity to donate to the Tsunami victims: https://www.americares.org/donate/?id=S ... Earthquake% 20Relief%20Fund Normally 99% of their money goes DIRECTLY to the people who need it, NOT for administrative costs. In THIS case, 100% goes DIRECTLY to these people whose lives have been so shattered. For every $100.00 Donated, they average $5000.00 in goods TO PEOPLE WHO NEED IT. So, I simply ask that anyone who can afford it, PLEASE consider this charity to help? God knows I'M broke, but I dug deep and gave all I could. My heart has been broken for these people I fell in love with so many years ago when living in this region. Thanks for listening, Mike Cartwright (Pappy)
