The Red Cross and its Middle East equivalent Red Crescent is a fantastic organization!
After our major earthquakes in Christchurch and Kaikoura they were the first on the ground providing basics of life support to all affected, and while I do not know how its done in USA, here in New Zealand, every dollar they received and then spent on emergency support was accounted for and made public for anyone wanting to know.
100% trustworthy in my personal view!
Here in NZ we are seeing flooding in the US reaching the second storey of homes with officials warning families to not go into their Attic unless they can literally escape through their roof. When you see flooding like that, nevermind the other horrendous damage done from the Hurricane and heavy rain, you know its time to forget being politically correct and beg all humanity - anywhere in the world - to do what they can to help.
The US Government helped up greatly during our times of trial - sending warships with military aircraft that were used to help get supplies to our people, and transport survivors to safety, and financial support offers as well as Civil Defense Rescue experts. I'll be definitely digging deep to help all I can, as I am sure our Government will be in the coming days.
Keep safe folks, and for those immediately affected by this disaster you are in my thoughts and I wish you a rapid support package and better days ahead - till the storms are over keep safe and well.
