Please do not give to charities blindly.
Unfortunately, while most charities are respectable organizations, there are some that may take advantage of one's goodwill. Just because one sees an advertisement on Television does not mean that the charity organization is legitimate or that the majority of one's donation will actually go to helping the victims.
Please do your research!
One of the best site that I have found is:
https://www.charitynavigator.org
Uitilizing https://www.charitynavigator.org one can see the independent, non-biased ratings of charities, which are rated on a 4 star scale, with 4 (four) stars being the highest rated (best).
Please give, but give responsibly. Again, visit: https://www.charitynavigator.org
