One Back

When Hurricanes Gustav and Ike roared ashore over the past few weeks the media breathed a sigh of relief that New Orleans was spared.  But the real story is about thousands of people and communities that have lost their homes and business from these monster storms.

We may not see as much media coverage about the aftermath of hurricanes when a major city isn’t involved, but Ike has shown that beachfront communities can be wiped clean off the map.  They’ve got a crisis in south Texas happening right now, and getting food, water and medical care to those folks is the greatest priority.

Many of us cannot help much beyond donating money to a good cause, and with that in mind here are the links to both the American Red Cross Donation page, and another one for the Salvation Army’s donation page.   Both of these organizations provide an essential role in leading relief efforts, and getting food, water and coordinated shelter for people who need it.  Our thoughts and prayers are with them all.
