Please help people in Joplin Missouri
« on: May 30, 2011, 06:06:49 pm »
A tornado destroyed Joplin, Missouri.  Please go to the Red Cross website to discover the ways you can help the survivors.

One Way:

You can text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief, which helps people affected by disasters like the recent tornadoes and wildfires, as well as countless other crises at home and around the world.

My church organization have a website that I donate to and they always have a fund set up with the different places in the country and the world that need help. I trust them more than donating to the Red Cross or anywhere else. When New Orleans got flooded, the Red Cross got millions donated, but did not spend all those funds for New Orleans. They will even tell you that all donations get put in a general fund and a board decides what percentage of donations go where. If I'm donating to a specific cause, I want my money to go there and nowhere else.
