I just tried donating on-line through the President’s Fund, and it seemed impossible. Also, I can’t contact anyone through the site directly, so hopefully a post here will help make a link available (or more obvious).
Besides that, I’m really impressed with the involvement I see here. I hope my donations to ADP’s RSD fund and HDF make a difference.

in earthquake and the whole family of Mr. & Mrs Haji Altaf Hussain & their seven (7) small children ages from two (2) to fourteen (14) years are in serious danger due to not getting any relief help so far.
Due to Bad/cold weather, rain & forthcoming snow. I seriously fear that if they don’t get RELIEF GOODS like waterproof TENTS, BLANKETS, WARM CLOTHS, FOOD ITEMS, this family wont survive more than few days more, please if anybody have resources at Balakot and can help them com forward or contact them directly and help at the address & cell numbers given below:

Can Warren Buffett, Bill Gates,and/or Donald Trump hire a 747 jet to be filled with warm clothing donations from collection centers across the U. S? Secondarily, can Federal Express, etc., fly boxed warm clothing(to be done locally) to the point of departure?
Living in Reno and visiting many thrift shops, the volume of donated warm clothing is great just here. I would be very happy to head a collections’ team in this area to collect and box donations. There is such an urgent need, and the timing is now.
Please see if together a few of us can get a ball rolling and save lives. This is a human-to-human effort.

A DETAIL REPORT ON
EARTHQUAKE RELIEF PROGRAM
In
MUZAFFARABAD, BAGH, AND MANSAHRA
Managed & Coordinated by:
IMAMIA STUDENTS ORGANISATION PAKISTAN
In the name of Allah the most beneficent, the most merciful.
Assalam-o-Alaikum!
Imam Ali (S.W.A) said:
“Be like such a strong nation that you must appear completely ready when called upon in a hard time.”
The tragedy which hit areas like Muzafarabad, Balakot, Bagh, Mansehra and the near outskirts in the form of earth quake has not only grieved every heart but has also brought tears in every eyes. In such a cruel time the relief fund and assistance by every person on a national scale is the evidence of pure fraternal feelings among the people.
Certain problems like lack of professional expertise and equipment, the problem of access to the joining areas, the gradual increase in chill, the robbery of aid convoys, the administrative and rehabilitation problem and the bursting of corporal bodies lying around are still a great challenge for all the organizations.
This report is made to provide our brothers, donors, and volunteers the comprehensive details of earthquake victims & the performance of Organization in this regard.
