I say we send money to the east coast of Florida that is on fire now because of an arsonist.

My three-year-old loves SpongeBob.

I think its a noble effort, but I think there may be other causes that I would rather give my money to.  I'm sort of at the point of if you cant help the US and you have the ability to, why would we help you?  Did they send us money for Hurricane Katrina, for the 911 fund, for the Oklahoma City bombing?  Doubtful.

AMEN TO THAT !!!

 

Everytime I make a purchase at the store I contribute to China

Anyone ever hook up with a Chinese chick?  That country is still blank from my 10 years that I spend in Wash DC.

I realize how easy it is to make light of the situation in China, but I still believe we can help rescue lives. I looked at the links Stormy brought up, and found this quote from the third link rather interesting...

Additionally, the Government of China has formally requested assistance from the international community to help meet the needs of those affected. Both cash and relief supplies have been requested, but field assessment missions by outside organizations are not recommended due to the extreme difficulty in traveling to the worst affected areas.

In response, UNICEF China is mobilizing urgently needed relief supplies with immediate emphasis on health and medical kits, tents and shelter materials and clean water and sanitation supplies.  -Unicef

I noticed another article earlier in the day saying to be careful about sending money overseas. Several organizations would like to help, but realisically can't do all that much. Unicef (United Nations Children's Fund) is an organization working directly with Chinese relief efforts, although their focus is on primarily on saving and lending much needed aid to children. They estimate an immediate need of $5 mil.

I like this site because it's the only one I've seen with a detailed plan of action. The link also lists ways money can help. One donation of $25 would purchase the following...

$3 can buy a large wool blanket to protect children from the cold during an emergency.

$22 can buy a First Aid kit containing items such as gloves, adhesive, bandages and gauze for use during emergency situations.

If only four of us pitch in...

$101 can provide 10 families with Basic Family Water kits for use during emergency situations.

If ten of us pitch in...

$244 can buy an Emergency Health Kit that provides basic drugs, medical supplies, and equipment for 1,000 people for 3 months.
