How do you setup a donation website for earthquake relief?
My family and friends have been hit hard because of the 2010 baja california earthquake. The magnitude was greater than the Haiti earthquake. Although the death toll doesnt compare at all, the damage done is unbelievable. Most of my family members live in Ejido Oaxaca, Mexico, which was right next to the Epicenter. I want to setup a website so people can donate money which can be helpful for Food and water. We have had a couple of phone calls to them and they said that the gallon of water has sky rocketed in the local markets to 60 pesos which is about 6 dollars. People dont have this kind of money so they need our help...
so far i have created this blog.

but now how do i make it so that people can see it and make a donation?..
You might be able to get a paypal donate now button on your website. The real problem is going to be to get people to donate to a family instead of an organization. You might better enlist the help of the American Red Cross or the other disaster relief agencies and volunteer your time to them. Remember there are many, many legalities in being a not for profit organization (and asking for money to be donated). For more information: http://www.irs.gov/charities/index.html
Hope this helps.
