That is VERY true! you must be very careful who you make the donations to. People would def take advantage of the situation.

eldondre is right. Aid has a tendency to get misdirected by corrupt governments. It is no secret that so much aid to Africa gets misdirected.

In this case, I think aid to non-governmental groups, like the Red Cross, will help best. I'm having a hard time, however, finding an actual donation link on their website so I guess I'll have to call it in.

At any rate, here goes:
