Figure It Out!

Have you ever felt helpless in the wake of a disaster?  It may take some doing to figure it all out. I felt that way many years ago when I discovered inches of water in our basement!  I was panic-stricken...to the point of running outside, seeing my across-the-street neighbors, whom I didn't know, and hollered for help from them!  We are good friends now!!

I have good friends in Asheville who are enduring the effects of hurricaine Helene. They have texted what their journey is like, struggles and resources.  It makes me sick.  Knowing them personally, I would like to get resources directly to them but don't know how. 

The second and third year after Katrina I went to Biloxi/Gulfport to help but am not able now. Seeing the devastation along the gulf then, I certainly can envision the mess in those states now...and for years to come! So, rather than sitting here wringing my hands in futility I am hoping this little post inspires you and others to "do something."

You, like I, will figure out what that "something" is.  If I had a helicoptor I would fly rations in; if I could go there, I would; if I knew they could get mail, I would send money. I know large organizations are asking for donations.  That is always an option.  I am still figuring it out ; I hope you do, too!  Thank you!
