As you are no doubt aware, this past weekend saw the arrival of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. There’s been a lot of political noise surrounding this natural disaster, but hidden amidst the political tempest there are real people whose lives have been impacted.
The full extent of the damage caused by the storm is still unknown, but it’s already clear that recovery will be a long and arduous path.
As news of the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey has spread, so has the relief effort. There are countless organizations working to provide help for those who need it. And this is where you can help.
While we all can’t be on the ground in Texas, we can all make a difference. Whether you’re into helping people, pets, homes, or all of the above, there’s an organization that can use whatever financial assistance you have to offer.
To make it easier, I’ve compiled a quick list of just a few of the options complete with celebrity endorsements…because we all know it sounds better coming from a famous person. I’ll leave you to make your decision. Just remember every little bit helps. And to the people of Texas, stay safe and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
The pets and other animals in Texas also need our help. https://t.co/K4GkQK5i5p https://t.co/aUJNXYAn8p
