If you could donate it would be lovely.

This the the official red cross donation so it will go to a good cause.

Here are some more ways to donate from the CNN site.
AmeriCares has sent disaster-relief personnel to Joplin, and it's working with Access Family Care Clinic to help victims. This expands AmeriCares' tornado relief operation, which has been assisting various Southern states as they recover from their own recent tornado outbreak.

This is truly disturbing! I feel so bad for these people. I highly recommend donating to this cause if possible. I couldn't imagine being put in a situation of losing everything. Good post and hopefully it will bring in good money to support them
