I donate plenty to needy children in America. Actually, come April 15th I'll be sending another "charitable donation"
In all seriousness, this is a worthwhile cause (no one hear can deny that). If there is a cause more "worthy" it's best to take action and raise funds/awareness for that cause rather than $hit on everyone else's parade in a well-intentioned thread.
On a side note, I donated last week when I first heard about this.
