After 9/11 my family donated to the RC, but we were not happy with the way that turned out. Last winter, with the tsunami, we decided to donate money to Samaritan's Purse. They followed up with newsletters about what they were doing to help. Here is an article about what they are doing right now about Katrina:

I followed Kim's link and see that they have a 4-star rating! cool!
Thanks Kim !
We don't have to feel helpless about this tragedy, the best thing we can do for the victims of Katrina is to pray, today and everyday.
