How much more can we take?

I sit here and listen to the mother in Pakistan cry over her dead child then the father in Guatemala crying over his loved ones and wonder what can I do besides sit in my comfortable home and talk about all the ails of the world and pray that God is with those who are suffering. Yes I can donate to my personal charity which I will do but what else can I do? I feel so helpless. I am not able to get my ass out and go there to volunteer because of my own problems but I do wonder if there is something else I can do.
