I'm sure this is well intended but I don't recommend this.
There are a lot of charities and organizations already
set up to help out these unfortunate victims.

If you have an Amazon.com account, you can make donations
to the Red Cross there for the South Asia Earthquake and
Tsunami Disaster Relief Efforts:

I understand that Amazon is not taking a cut from these
donations.

You can also donate online to the Salvation Army's relief 
effort for the earthquake and tsunami victims:
http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/

Mercy Corps

International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
http://www.ifrc.org/

The BBB Wise Giving Alliance has tips on giving to tsunami 
relief efforts as well as a list of charities providing
relief with contact information and ratings

I agree. I just forwarded Dave's message as is. Please don't take this 
as an endorsement. I would also go through an established organization 
of your choosing.
