Therefore, highly-recommended by me.Άλισονhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409063245062952864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-50910069997505847572009-08-16T08:23:15.826+08:002009-08-16T08:23:15.826+08:00Thanks for including the GlobalGiving link - http:...Thanks for including the GlobalGiving link - http://www.globalgiving.com/projects/taiwan-typhoon-relief-and-assistance-fund/ - the response has been heartening.Ingrid Embreehttp://www.globalgiving.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-88548305028762877072009-08-15T23:39:10.413+08:002009-08-15T23:39:10.413+08:00Can I also suggest giving through the Presbyterian...Can I also suggest giving through the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan. The Church is an important part of many indigenous communities and will contribute a lot to the rebuilding process.

My card is a Hong Kong card, so I can't do that. I tried using a US card, but the site did not send me a confirmation and I don't know what happened to the transaction.<br /><br />I tried Tzu Chi's Taiwan site, but they want me to enter an ROC ID, which I don't have.<br /><br />I called Tzu Chi's office in Hong Kong, but they don't accept donations by credit cards. They want a check, but I don't have a checking account.<br /><br />I tried the Taiwanese-American association, but they request a check too.<br /><br />I tried the ROC Red Cross, but they require I enter a Taiwan city or county. <br /><br />It has never been so difficult for me to make a donation. This is ridiculous.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552370490869601403noreply@blogger.com
