No matter what part of the US or even foreign aid welcome. But please go through the red cross, salvation army, and other sites I have listed. Official sites. There is a little progress, but the situation is still dire. Every prayer and every hand that helps is needed. Families are shattered, seperated, and starving. It is a tide of displaced humanity that has nowhere to go and everything they own in a single car or a single bag. If you ask what can I do? Visit the red cross sites, call the shelters...For now aid is the most important factor.
