The Apocolypse Riders are off in the distance - ping.

The United Nations said the disaster was unique in encompassing such a large area and so many countries.

Donations can be sent via WorldVision

WorldVision is one of the few charities I would trust. At least the money won't go to support Islamic terroism.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It is beyond words. I pray for us all.

[AntiGuv]

I want to send donations but the only people I could think of were the Red Cross (which I've now already donated to). Looks as if I'll add WorldVision to the list, but my question is about any others that you'd recommend (charities helping the tsunami victims specifically). Who else is 'good'?

[Cobra64]

I'd never send a dime to the Red Cross. Crooks don't need my money.

[AntiGuv]

Well, that's part of why I want alternatives.

THANKS MUCH.

Having been close to some leaders in World Vision, this is absolutely the major org I'd send donations through.

Franklin Graham's SAMARITAN'S PURSE is another high integrity, low overhead aid org.

I probably favor Samaritan's Purse a bit more these days. I think He still keeps the heart of The Gospel and Christ's Love center focus. World Vision has somewhat, imho, become a big, almost secular tinged but still Christian org.

Their home page is:

Their giving online page is:

True! And their overhead is quite low, comparitively speaking.

Franklin Graham's SAMARITAN'S PURSE is top flight. You can be sure his integrity is as good as his Dad Billy's. Billy, if riding in an elevator alone, and the car stopped at an intermediate floor, and a woman got on, he'd get off so no one could even dare to accuse of anything from even appearances.

I think the Red Cross has been in bed with the puppet masters for a very long time.

[PlanoMike]

As with all such horific event death counts, the number will continue to go up for a while and then start coming back down.

[chris1]

I bet the total death toll before this whole thing is over tops 100k.

What a tragedy. It almost seems like the world is going nuts.

[ChocChipCookie]

If anyone wants to donate money toward the relief efforts in Asia, you can donate at www.samaritanspurse.com Christian organizations are pretty much funded only by other Christians while secular organizations, such as the American Red Cross, get their money from many other sources. From what I know, Samaritan's Purse is a highly reputable organization.

IF the "stingy" U.S. sends monetary aid via the U.N., those victims will be lucky to see one million of the 15 mil.

[AntiGuv]

Thank you. Looks like an excellent organization and I will add them to the list.

[Happy2BMe]

This is the SECOND 8.9 shaker in LESS THAN 30 DAYS!!

(The other one was off of Antarica two weeks ago.)

I stopped supporting world vision because they are in league with goals 2000 and other secular humanism efforts:

If you do your homework on ecumenism/humanism/new age and World Vision you will see more ties that you would like.
