I checked Twitter Re: Bahia. It looks like they've been hit very hard and need help badly.

Monta airport closed
here is some info that I found in regards to the earthquake for your information. lol
200 prisoners from the jail in Portoviejo ( Located in the coast of Ecuador) escaped
bridge in Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, collapsed after the quake. Other bridges throughout the country were undergoing safety checks.
coastal tourist town of Pedernales was “destroyed and manta hit hard.
After the magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Ecuador, the Colima Volcano in Mexico has erupted. The Pacific Tectonic Plate is moving and California could be next!
earthquake was recorded at 27 kilometers from the town of Muisne, in the coastal province of Esmeraldas, at a depth of 19 kilometers.
Local media reported that the quake was felt in several cities. In Quito and Guayaquil several sectors have been left without power. In addition, it is reported that the quake was felt in neighboring Colombia.
The volcano in Mexico is north of Ecuador and its sudden eruption, without warning, indicates tectonic plate stress suddenly impacted the magma chamber, forcing it out of the volcano.
According to information available, the epicenter of the Ecuador earthquake was recorded at 27 kilometers from the town of Muisne, in the coastal province of Esmeraldas, at a depth of 19 kilometers.

Is it safe to give your credit card info to these organizations? Are some safer than others? Can you use paypal to donate to any of them?

Worth remembering is that in almost every case disaster relief ebbs and flows with the news-cycle. There is no hurry for individual donations, and you might actually be more helpful after the dust has settled and the news trucks have moved on....

Yo @ OM - Supermaxi "There are donation areas at all of Cuenca’s Supermaxi grocery stores" this is what I was reffering to ('grocery + max') I'd ask, "What would Pope Francis Do?" and then go do a LOT of free Pedicures in Esmeralda:))).
