life is tight here but brutal elsewhere. my wife and i have made a commitment to give and have our children on board as well. here is the question... where does one give where the $ do the most good?
my gut is in knots wishing/hoping i can help. my son just emptied his piggy bank and handed his money to me to donate. i said i would match whatever he chose to donate. brought tears to my eyes....
any suggestions on where money should go would be appreciated.
many thanks and please dig deep mi amigos....

went with doctors without borders...
have followed them for years and they seem to be realtively apolitical.....
just gotta do something...
and the best part, my son said..' i wish i could have gotten those star wars legos, but those guys need help a lot more than i need toys...'
rest well.....

I gave to Red Cross. They accept your credit card on their web site and send you a receipt via email.
