Donate to Help Tsunami Victims

I've searched the web for ways to help, and for those of us who are geographically far away from the tsunami victims, the best way I can figure to help is to donate financially to the American Red Cross. Disaster relief is one of their specialties. Donations can be as little as $5 US: Red Cross Donation Page. You have to choose "International Response Fund" if you want the donation to go the fund that will help the tsunami victims. If anyone knows of other ways to donate or help, please post a comment.

Some More Places to Donate

Some more places to donate for those who are so inclined:

  Doctors Without Borders

  Americares

  Habitat for Humanity

  Islamic Circle of North America Relief

  Mercy Corps

Since I culled these from American press sources, I believe they are all U.S.-based. If anyone knows of any organizations based in other countries with online donation pages, please post them.

AID: Appeal for Tidal-Wave Disaster Relief in India

There is an organization that i'm donating money through. Here is their appeal.
=============================================================
An Appeal

AID Appeal for Tidal-Wave Disaster Relief (India)

Usually, mother nature provides comfortable nurturing. However, from
time to time the elements seem to lose control and disaster follows
often unexpected and of unimaginable magnitude. As you probably
already know, starting with the worst affected state, Tamil Nadu,
Andhra Pradesh, Orisaa, Kerala have all been hit severly by a tidal
wave, the so called Tsunami. Although the full magnitude of the
disaster is still being assessed, unquestionably thousands of some of
the poorest of our fellow Indians have been rendered helpless. AID
(www.aidindia.org) volunteers in India are involved in providing
immediate succour. We in the Diaspora here should do everything that
we can to help out. We seek financial help from you for this cause.
Let us all come together to show our loved ones that, no matter where
we are, we care deeply for their welfare. Please help and help
generously.

Contributions to AID can be made through secure on-line
credit-card deductions from AID's website:
http://survivors.aidindia.org where further details and updates will
also be made available. Please indicate that your contribution is for
the "Relief and Rehabilitation Fund". Contributions can also be sent
by check made payable to "AID" mailed to: AID, P.O. Box 4801 Mountain
View, CA 94040-0801 (Please indicate "Relief and Rehabilitation Fund"
in the check memo) AID is working with our partners to support various
relief proposals including prompt approvals up to the $7,500 AID has
already committed. AID estimates the amount already committed will
only cover a fraction of the relief effort. Therefore, AID is
appealing to all members of the community, including its volunteers,
and many supporters to contribute generously toward this effort. For
additional information call: 1-888-TALK-2-AID / 650 996 6412 Email:
info@aidindia.org Web: http://survivors.aidindia.org AID Volunteers.
