Maybe not Moe, but if 10 million people in the US do the same thing, that's 50-150 million dollars. So it adds up. I agree with Rosity in this case. It's much more direct and faster to give directly than to wait until everyone has donated before sending the funds. It would be good though if people would contribute to the Red Cross or one of the other help organizations and Rosity could promote that by putting up links somewhere prominantly.
