How do we help the people of Japan- Need list of Organizations

[barbiegeek]

Hi! Can you all help me. I want to make a list of Organizations to help Japan and I will have a new post here & Facebook.

I know the Salvation Army is sending people & I'm sure the Red Cross is (but didn't they take $$ from Hiati?) I'm a little leery about them.

Thank You! My heart is breaking for Japan: 9.0 earthquake, Tsunami, Nuclear meltdown, and now a Volcano erupted.

Any organizations will be great from Search internet sites to Donations to reliable charities.

2. The other night I heard

a (progressive) financial analyst who's name I didn't catch, say that although Japan has significant debt, it's one of the richest countries on the planet. I'm waiting to see how this plays out, to be honest. This analyst said that they'll be just fine from a financial perspective. If this is true, I'd rather donate to a poor county suffering from disaster or our own disadvantaged and suffering citizens. Of course, my heart breaks at what I've been watching. Horror beyond belief. But aid of all kinds is pouring in from all over the world. Sorry. I know this doesn't answer your request.
