Here's how you can help the victims of recent disasters

The multiple disasters around the U.S. & world, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, droughts, show why I never designate a charitable donation to a specific disaster. People often donate for a specified disaster that gets a lot of news coverage, so organizations may get more than they need for that disaster, then later or less prominent disasters don't get enough. If they use the unneeded funds for other, needed, purposes, human piranhas will jump on them for that.
