charity suggestion

I'd like to donate to Oxfam Canada, since I've had good experiences with Oxfam in the past and the Canadian government is matching donations. Would you consider adding this to the approved list? http://www.oxfam.ca/emergencies/philippines-typhoon-emergency-response

You might want to add Catholic Relief Services: http://emergencies.crs.org/typhoon-haiyan-help-philippines-survive-and-recover/

The Philippines is a heavily Catholic nation, and CRS already had a presence on the ground there.

This is the NZ animal welfare organization, they are currently in the Phillipines and are taking donations directly for this cause at the above link.

Is it ok if I donate to them for a few little bits and peices? I can avoid paypal and cc fees with a direct debit donation :)

Thank you for doing this. Another organisation is NAFCON. They're a grassroots group run by Filipin@s for Filipin@s.

Forgot to add that Darren Criss is also running a charity drive:
