More than 50 American charities are providing medical care, food, and other services to victims of Saturday's earthquake in Indonesia, but their fund-raising efforts have thus far met with varied results.
Save the Children, for example, had received $70,000 through May 30, largely via an online appeal to past donors. That amount is greater than the sum the organization raised in the four days following the earthquake last year in Pakistan, which killed an estimated 80,000 people — more than 10 times the number killed in this most recent temblor."
