I don't think you have anything to be sorry about Stewart.  You made it
clear that you wanted to help when the time was right, which is all any
of us can do.

I don't know of any specific initiatives, but i would suggest contacting
Red Cross via their web site.  I'd love to hear if you receive a
response from them.
