Support Disaster Relief Efforts

There are many relief agencies working hard to help people in regions devastated by natural disasters such as the recent Earthquake/Tsunami in Japan and many others. Please consider making a donation with an established relief organization. The Canadian Red Cross and UNICEF Canada amongst others accept direct online donations via credit card.

Canadians can also text in their donations to the Canadian Red Cross. Text the word ASIA to 30333 to make a $5 per text donation (with the donation appearing as a charge to your monthly phone bill).
