Perhaps you've heard the story of the starfish [complete story]. A man is walking along a beach, picking up starfish and tossing them back into the sea. When asked what he is doing, he explains that the tide is low and the sun is out; the starfish laying exposed on the beach will surely die. When he is told that with the miles and miles of beach, surely he can't make a difference, the man picks up another starfish and tosses it into the sea saying, "It made a difference to that one!".
Looking at the devastation in South Asia, one has to think what a daunting task it will be get life back to normal again. Will it ever be normal again? All those survivors need so much help. It does seem overwhelming.
But even the most meager donation can help someone over there. Perhaps whatever help you can give can only help one person. But you know what? That in itself is enough.
