I decided to give to the Salvation Army which set up a fund. Unlike the Red Cross, however, they did not pass it through to the next of kin but rendered whatever services they felt appropriate and hung onto the rest for their general work. The Salvation Army, I believe, has the lowest admin cost of the major charities - more of each dollar reaches the needy than for anyone else.

I remember seeing the corp donations flood into the Red Cross and thinking what's my pittance going to amount to in light of that?

And $40.00 is more than generous. If everyone gave $40... well, you get the picture.
