I think it would be wise to donate only if people spy the victim
wearing a t-shirt that reads 'Help Me' or something of that nature.
Like everyone else, people here on Sajha work hard for their money.
Most people as they should are showing support for the victim and
praying for her. A Nepali committing such a heinous crime on a lone
female Nepali minor is just unimaginable. Nepalese associations could
extend support to her if she needs any help at any time. It is true
that rape victims suffer from post-traumatic stress as there are plenty
of evidences documented out there.

No matter whom we help in
terms of monetery funds, it could be done in a few steps that convinces
us that we are not getting ripped off:

1) First the pleading person/group should define the problem with proper documentation
2) We could set up a local committee that works with the fund organizer  and verfies that it is a legitimate campaign.
3)
Show us the voucher of estimate of what the total expense amount comes
to. There should always be a set amount of target fund total. That way
we know when the rest of the donors can stop dispensing cash and save
for the next fund campaign.

Bottomline : Let's stop allowing crooks to treat Sajha as an ATM machine.
