Tsunami donations

President Bush on Friday signed legislation allowing people who donate to Indian Ocean tsunami relief to claim deductions on their 2004 tax returns, if they write the check before the end of the month.

Great idea. Here's an extensive list of organizations that are accepting funds.

I want to highlight Heart to Heart, a group based here in Kansas City that has been flying around the world delivering medical supplies for about 10 years now. They've already sent a plane load of medicine and water filtration supplies to Sri Lanka. A couple local news anchors are going along with the flight, so you can keep an eye on what your donation is accomplishing.
