Only give to established charities like the red cross/red crescent, Oxfam, or the UN aid organizations. DO NOT give to the people on the street with the cans. Go online and find a charity that is internationally recognized.

NO!! I keep my money in my wallet. I didn't see any one helping anyone in South Florida last year.

I am Australian. We have medical staff, aid workers and charities there now. If you would like to help out, there are people who will oversee the distribution of the aid and help these poor people get their lives back on track. They have been through so much already.

Learn about a charity before donating. Some charities have well established networks in Indonesia, while some are less experienced, and the money is more likely to be wasted. When asked about their needs, many villagers said "We need fifteen chickens and a goat". Not a truck, or lumber, they could get that on their own. What they needed was a quick and steady food supply. Charities that have that kind of knowledge are the best.

This is a hard question to answer. It's hard to know what money is spent on during nature disasters. I am so hesitant to get because I hear so many bad stories. My mom always taught me that it's the thought that counts. If you give money from your heart to help others this is the most important part. I hate that the unemployment rate is low in the US and I am working as hard as I can to make a living and decide to help others out even if it's just a little. During our hurricane disasters last year I gave $100.00 this was all I could afford at the time. Then months later I hear that different organization misused this money. I felt so cheated and the money wasn't going to help me out. I tried to put myself in the vitims shoes. They have people giving money to help them out and the people that we are trusting with the money are spending foolishly.

Red Cross is a good one to contribute to. I helped out doing insurance adjusting when they had the hurricanes down there. We drove from Minnesota to help the best we could and it seemed like there wasn't enough time in the day. I put in 16-20 hour days helping. It was all I could do. Your heart is in the right place. I admire you for that.

Indonesian officials are said to be very corrupt, so you’d better give your money to Red Cross or a big international charity, which goes there personally and not just transfer the money to a bank account.
