The humanitarian arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which I am a member of, is well established in responding to these types of emergencies, within 24 hours of the disaster. So if I can't be there, I know that by donating to LDS Charities, my money is going exactly where it is needed.
Besides disaster relief, they support many worldwide, year round projects. I have included a short inspirational video about one of these programs.
I am simply going to attach a link that you can click on to make a donation. It is a quick, safe and confidential way to help. Donating on the LDS Charities website is not a commitment to the church nor will you have boys in white shirts and ties knocking on your door anytime soon (unless you want them too!)

Good for you Linda.
good reminder - with all the pleas for "donate by texting here, there and everywhere" it's good to be reminded of the organizations that just get the money where it needs to be!
(and yes, to avoid the hate mail - I DO know that this is not the only one...)
This is great. WAy to go for sharing this, girl.
Like I told my daughter, "You can't help everyone all the time, but it's important to do what you can when you have the opportunity." It's nice to know when the money you donate to charity is going directly to the ones in need and not to pay expensive Big Wigs and telemarketers. I refuse to donate organizations that pay "professional fund raisers." The church is a great resource to know your money is going to a good place.
Your drugs caused you to forget your "mother in-law, brought flowers, sat in the hospital till surgery was over and went to clean your home after the "craptastic surgery"ordeal. yes, hmmm! Just thought your hundreds of fans would like to know what a fantastic in law you have.
