To Donate
To donate to the AMERICAN RED CROSS, click HERE. You can designate hurricane relief, or other programs.
I used the link to donate. It was something I was going to do today and you made it easier to just get it done. Thanks. I also will put this same link in my post tomorrow. This is certainly a terrible tragedy.
After being in a disaster a few years ago, I will never donate to the Red Cross. My money goes to the Salvation Army or the Mennonite Relief Fund. They both arrived quickly, went about the business of helping and asked for nothing. The Red Cross came in later blowing their horns and asking for money. They tried to take over the project that a community service organization had organized (food, clothing, household goods, etc). After all the ground work had been done - securing a site, gathering and sorting donations - the Red Cross came in and said they would be more than happy to run it but it would have to be in the name of the Red Cross. No one involved in any of the disaster could see that they did anything more than the Salvation Army or the Mennonites - they just wanted publicity and money.
Great blog! I also have a site about Polar Bears Water Skiing . You can check it out at Polar Bears Water Skiing .
Also, as a special bonus, I want to tell you about a great site that is giving away a FREE Sony DVD Handycam. Just click the link below and enter your Zipcode to qualify.

I donated today..great idea putting the link on here...:)
Well, okay, then let's add a second choice. If you yourself are also unhappy with the American Red Cross, you can donate here www.SalvationArmy.org.
But, please, use one or the other website to donate. If we all pull together, we can accomplish a lot.

Good comments. But, I do not agree with most of them. People sure have a lot of time on their hands.
