Hurricane Ike’s Aftermath: Help H-town out

Filed Under Current events, Giving back | 2 Comments

Hurricane Ike did a number on my hometown

I lived in Houston for large, non-consecutive portions of my life. I’ve got lots of friends and loved ones there right now. I’m exceedingly thankful that they all made it through the storm unharmed, with their homes (mostly) intact.

Unfortuantly, not everyone was so lucky.

I’ve been following the news closely, and augmenting what I hear from the folks who can get calls out. It’s no cakewalk down there. But to the credit of the people of Houston and it’s surrounding areas, they really are coming together to help one another.

I hope that you all can do the same, even if as neighbors you may be a little further away.

Donate to the Red Cross or Houston Food Bank if you can. It will make an impact on someone’s life.

You can take my word for it: these folks are good people who will leverage whatever you give to help the most possible and make the best of a bad situation.

Not many people read this blog, as it is in it’s infancy. But if I can implore one of you to help, it will be worth it.

As always, thanks for reading.
