The Pakistan crisis: Easy ways to donate


Yes, there are plenty of reasons to be upset with the Pakistani government.

But, for now,we can't afford to look past the 20 million whose lives are completely messed up.

One easy way to donate, here in the US:
"text CERF to 90999 and give $5, up to 5 times. The donation will appear on your cell phone bill"

For donations of larger amounts, a number of options exist; here are two of them:

The Red Cross/Red Crescent

The UN Fund

Mercy Corps is another good one to donate to. Very highly ranked by the various charity watchdog organizations. And, headquartered near home, in Portland, Oregon.
