I think I mentioned this before, but I've seen dozens of donations of $1,000, five or six of $5,000 and our record was a $10,000 donation by one person. That's just the cold hard cash, lots of people are (trying) to donate clothes and medical supplies, and many offering their houses to victims or even to fly over there themselves to help, whether they're professionals or just kind-hearted.

But I don't know if the donations by the major economies like the UK, Australia and the US include things like planes, personnel, medical aid and food, that sort of thing. Is it $15 million in cash, plus all the other actual supplies they send? Or is it $15 million worth of 'stuff', including cash?
