I agree. It could have easily been any one of us as totally wiped out like those on the islands just devastated by Irma. I feel so terrible for them and have been praying regularly. I almost donated to the Red Cross today when checking out at Publix - they were collecting for them - but hesitated so I could learn a bit more about what they actually do with the money. I’d hate for a big part of it to go to some CEO’s salary or fringe benefits. Does anyone know about the Red Cross? I’ve heard Samaritan’s Purse was good but don’t know if they are actively helping Irma victims.
There may be a local group in your area collecting goods for the more devastated areas. I just learned tonight that a local group is taking donations of supplies, then moving them by boat to the Keys. They have already made one trip. I plan to bring goods to the collection location tomorrow.
