Places to Donate: Hurricane Joaquin, Assisting Family Islanders

There is no way we could have estimated that hurricane Joaquin would cause the devastation it did in the southern islands of the Bahamas. One of the hardest hit was Long Island, a place a recently visited - one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I was unable to reach the friends my mother and I made after Friday.  Our prayers our with them.

As the pictures and videos of flooding and other damages continue to be shared on the internet.  It continues to tug at heart strings.  It horrible to see, and I'm sure even more horrible to live through.  A lady in one of the videos, quite visibly shaken, said something powerful: Don't just take pictures of us, we need help, send whatever you can think of. 

You won't find any pictures here, but I have compiled a list of places I found that are collecting donations.  Thanks in advance.
