Something like a billion was collected, but next to nothing was actually distributed until it was taken to court or the media let it loose.

I have two friends who have been affected. Any $ or anything I donate will go directly to them. I have no desire to send $50 to the Red Cross only to have them spend $100 trying to get me to donate again. I wish all charities would cease and desist from putting everyone who gives them a damn penny on their mailing lists. I gave $ to the Salvation Army after 9/11 and they haven't left me alone since.
My advice is to give through your church or another organization, so you won't be continually harassed with more requests for funds.
