I received this letter from a friend I can trust.

Katif Fund is legit and if you'd like to direct to a particular project, please note: for NOW
(Netzer Chazani) although there are plenty of vital and urgent needs for the evacuated, etc. I can vouge for every penny sent to Netzer Chazani that it will be used for urgent needs. I don't want to send you sob stories. You can find them yourselves in the news but it's impossible to imagine the upheaval and loss these thousands of families are suffering. Baruch HaShem, the beautiful people of Israel have come out in droves volunteering and buying basic needs for our fellow Jews and new refugees with all their hearts!
For Israelis who don't need an American tax deduction, you can make out a check to Keren Yochanan (and get an Israeli tax deduction) which is an emergency fund for Netzer Chazani and mail it to: (ask me and I'll get the address. The chairman of the fund's wife is due any day, beshaa tova, so I can't reach him at the moment.)
Don't believe any of the government lies about all that they are doing. So far, all they're doing is paying expensive PR firms to make themselves look good when they are not. And blaming the victims for their plight. HaShem Yerachem.
Sorry, guys. Just love HaShem with all your heart and your pockets.(me'odecha) and help Gush Katif refugees cover their enormous debts.
Anita Tucker has suggested that each community try to adopt a Gush Katif community-- there are 24 communities, as you know. This will assure that your funds get to "your" community and that they have someone to thank and to turn to. Please share this suggestion with the OU and World Mizrachi and all the wonderful organizations that have begun collecting for Gush Katif and its refugees.
Tizku LeMitzvot!
