Charitable donations are only deductible if made to a qualified charity. See the list of IRS recognized qualified charities at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/search-for-charities">https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-pr...>

You are a kind person.  However, if these donations were given directly to individuals and not to a qualified charity then they are gifts.  Gifts given are not reported on nor deductible on a tax return.
