Hurricane Sandy’s path of devastation has left millions
without power, destroyed homes and businesses, and left tens of thousands of
people struggling to pick up the pieces and rebuild. Watching the devastation
take place in real time and then seeing the aftermath of the storm compels me
to help those who have lost everything.
There are plenty of ways to show your support and provide
help. Of course, there are also plenty of scams now cropping up that try to
take advantage of the situation. Below are two reputable, well known
organizations collecting donations and providing direct support for those in
need.
There are plenty of other websites that are accepting
donations and many of them do great work. However, if you are going to donate
to them, be sure to do a background check to make sure they have a positive
track record. It’s unfortunate to have to caution people when all they want to
do is provide their support but, unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous
individuals that will prey on people’s charitable generosity for their own
gain.
If you are aware of any other reputable organizations
seeking support, please feel free to post them on this blog.
Thank you.
