Consider giving to hurricane Ida relief

[Por_sha911]

We see the bad news. We are blessed that we aren't in it. We hurt for those who are.

Why not donate? Find a nationally recognized organization you already know and trust. Watch out of ones related to the govt or have huge "administrative costs". (I won't give to the American Red Cross after they were outed for diverting funds given for one disaster to be saved for "future disasters").

I trust Samaritans Purse. Very open books. Trustworthy. Usually one of the first to arrive.

Please don't grandstand and/or brag about how generous you are. Just quietly give if you feel you can and should.

If any locals know of local charities seeking donations please let us know as well. I like to give local where I can.

And thanks for posting this Joe! I was thinking the same thing.

I posted this in the Ida thread but might also be appropriate here:

^^^^ Yep! And though I'm not affiliated in any way... Samaritan's Purse just seems outstanding at responding to situations like this.

Just throwing in my .02

Thanks Joe !

Anyone else have a suggestion on a place to donate?

I'll post a gofund me.

I have at least 10k worth of damage, and it isn't over yet.

I should have stayed in Key West.

Who was it that asked why anyone would want to live in those areas? NJ has beat the crap out of us weather-wise.

Looks like we were lucky.

Sorry about your trouble dad911. Hopefully you have good insurance.

One more bump for a good idea.
