Second time I will place this story into this Thread, however, I will now put in WIRES contact number if you wish to speak with them. It is rather upsetting to hear Australians donated $60m over the last few weeks and WIRES have only released $6.5m according to the Daily Mail. Some organizations have not seen a cent in the way of help.
