To be really honest, I personally am very cautious about where I give any money. The organization has to be well established, where there are no problems with the reputation.

But I will pray for help and healing and restoration for these people.

Just FYI, here are
some great Christian ministry/charity review online websites:

-Ministry Watch website ( Compare ministries - MinistryWatch )
has financial statements for numerous Christian ministry/charity
organizations
One thing I do look for in a Christian organization is their
percentage of (General and admin ratio ) administration and salary
costs. The head, president, CEO, person in charge, are they receiving
an inordinate salary and benefits? Do they utilize as many volunteers
as possible and get the most money to where it does the most good? I
personally shy away from (General and admin ratio )administrative
costs at 15% or above.

-Charity Navigator ( Charity Ratings and Donor Resources | Charity Navigator )

-Give.org ( Find Best Charities To Donate | Charity Ratings, Reviews )

-Charity Watch ( Charity Ratings | America's Most Independent, Assertive Charity Watchdog | CharityWatch )

Also, it would be good to verify if the Christian ministry/charity in
question is

-Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA
Certified/Accredited ) ( ECFA )

- Excellence in Giving Transparency Stamp (
Transparency Certification | Excellence in Giving )

And/or
-( For anyone from Canada) Canadian Centre for Christian Charities (
CCCC Certified/Accredited ) ( Canadian Centre for Christian Charities ). Go to
www.giveconfidently.ca. All the charities listed have to adhere to
the same standards. You'll find everything at the above link.
