War in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tsunami in Southeastern Asia. Now this. My sympathies and prayers for the people of Pakistan and India. Red Cross should have the donation site up soon.

A powerful earthquake flattened entire villages of mud-brick homes, triggered landslides and toppled a 10-story apartment building on Saturday, killing more than 18,000 people as it devastated a mountainous swath touching Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.

The casualty toll from the 7.6-magnitude tremor rose sharply Sunday as rescuers struggled to dig people from the wreckage, their work made more difficult as rain and hail turned dirt and debris into sticky muck. Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, Pakistan's chief army spokesman said early Sunday that more than 18,000 had been killed - 17,000 of them in Pakistani Kashmir, where the quake was centered. Some 41,000 people were injured, he said.

30,000 wow. dont know what to say.

How can I donate? Which organization can I trust? All the corrpution with FEMA in New Orleans left me questioning whether or not I could trust the Red Cross.

Can you justify not donating at all based on possible corruption?

Um...yes.

because she wants to.

If you don't trust any organization then you can only donate by going to the disaster location and giving your resources directly.

Look at this, as if we're not doing it fast enough the planet is actually helping us along to our demise?

Recent earthquake death toll estimate crosses 40,000 now. Approximately 5 million people affected. This is such a tragic catastrophic disaster. You can help.
