Disaster relief donations

[mikegalbicka]

The west coast and big bend area in the panhandle of my beloved state is a disaster zone as well as Asheville, NC where my brother lives. This hurricane may go down in history as the most costly one ever. Please consider doing something, doing anything to help. People have no food and water and that won’t change any time soon.

This organization has boots on the ground supplying those needs and I have personal experience with how well they operate. If you are wondering what you can do to help this is a worthy answer.

If you have the time and skill - go. If you have the money - give. Every bit helps someone in need. Eventually you might be on the other end. Thanks.

And please pray. Prayer changes things.

Nice!
Collections from local fire departments in Mass are being readied to be trucked down.
This is going to be a mess for a long time….. Some people will never recover from the losses.

Several convoy's of aid have left from S.Florida to the stricken areas. SAR teams from Miami have left for NC as well. Having gone through several hurricane's myself, I know what those folks are going through and it is tough slogging through days without power and water and food... My experience tells me that people are banding together and bonding like never before and share the meager supplies they have... Many new friendships will be formed and that should be seen as a positive in an otherwise unmitigated disaster.....

I remember 2004 here. We had 4 that year and our city was in the eye of 3 of them. Not something I will ever forget.
