japanese earthquake tsunami relief

The images online are breaking my heart.  I keep on seeing this image in my head of a group of rescuers finding a little boy dead. My brother is two hundred miles away from the nuclear reactors.  The city that I was born in is a fault.  They just had a few earthquakes today.  I am really worried for my family.

Apparently people are hesistant to donate to Japan because they are a developed country and don't need donations. I heard on the radio that 23million has been donated and with Haiti at four days received 110 million. I donated to the Red Cross.

The Huffington Post has a good link on where to donate:
