The One Fund certainly should receive consideration. Reputable, just one purpose, transparent. Not that the others aren't, and we do give to the Salvation Army throughout the year.

one who was injured was interviewed, he said he and his group of friends are self employed, do not have insurance (odd in Massachusetts) and will not be able to work wihle recovering as well as having topay the medical bills out of pocket. His friends lost legs, and other damage.

There are people in Boston who certainly need help. And if anyone has additional spare dollars, even though it wasn't because of a terrorist, that poor little town in Texas has truly been hit--much more impact than the bombs in Boston.
