I felt so stupid after finding out about NGOs. Now I only send directly to the area and thru churches. I also know that Franklin Graham organization is everywhere helping and some of us were involved in helping out
I know it can be disheartening but , yes, giving to the churches in the affected areas, or independent organizations (Cajun navy for example) are usually the best way. After hurricane helene hit, several of my jeep groups set up donation areas and supplies were delivered every day. The great thing about that was hearing directly from those affected as to what their needs were. The overwhelming requests were tents and tools! Food and water? Their response was "give it to someone who needs it". With all the devastation surrounding them, they still wanted to give to others who were "worse off" than they were!
Yes. I found out. I sent directly from my Amazon prime to the area. Yeah, it was good that way. Used to give it to banks or big name organization like red cross. Oh, what a shit to do that. Live and learn
Amen and thank you.
