Update


The death toll has reached a staggering 10,000 people, including 900 children that were trapped inside of a collapsed high school. Thousands are still trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings. At least 20,000 have been injured. Thankfully this area of the country has escaped any serious damage, but hundreds of thousands of people in Sichuan province are without shelter and basic necessities. If you can find it in your heart, many charities are now accepting donations to help with disaster relief. Contributions can be made at the Red Cross or Mercy Corps. Every little bit will help.
