The past two weeks have been bad for Asia, particularly for Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) and China. Myanmar had been hit by a cyclone which claimed more than 100K lives. A week later, a strong 7.9 magnitude earthquake shook China, destroying buildings and killing more than 10K people.

As far as I know, millions of people from both countries have not recovered yet from these tragedies, so if you want to donate something, here are two ways:

1.) Via American Red Cross (China and Myanmar)
2.) Via Archdiocese of Newark (Myanmar)

1. RED CROSS

Red Cross is accepting monetary donations, and you can mail your checks to…

I called them yesterday and the lady who answered the phone said that if you want to send a check, you have to make sure you specify if it’s for CHINA or MYANMAR.

Additional Contact Info:
E-mail : info@redcrossnnj.org2
Phone : 973-797-3300
Fax : 973-575-8462

American Red Cross has a headquarter here in Jersey City, and you can also drop off your donations there. Below is their address:

Jersey City Service Center
Address : 53 Mill Road, Jersey City, NJ 07302
Phone : 201-433-3100

However, to expedite your donation, just send it directly to the Fairfield office. The lady who I spoke to yesterday said that the donations that JC Headquarters receive are also forwarded to Fairfield. So why take longer routes, right?

2. ARCHDIOCESE OF NEWARK

Meanwhile, the Archdiocese of Newark is asking for donations for the victims of the cyclone in Myanmar as the death toll continues to climb.

…Those who wish to contribute can bring monetary donations to any Catholic parish or mail checks to the Archdiocese of Newark Myanmar Relief, P.O. Box 9500, Newark, NJ, 07104.

Donations will be used by Catholic Relief Services to buy a range of supplies, said James Goodness, a spokesman for the Archdiocese…
