I agree with you. I have a number of friends who are good people, both Republicans and Democrats who are living in NY and NJ and don’t deserve to be demonized.
I do want to know where all this money being raised is going. I donate to the Salvation Army as they put all their resources out to helping people directly. They are always and without fanfare some of the first “boots on the ground” giving what is needed.
Salvation Army is good, Red Cross can take your money and put it to any future disaster recovery they choose.
