We need to help Our Fellow Americans!!
I can no longer sit here and do nothing. Our Patriots in Texas are in need of our help. I was thinking of possible ways to help them. Their stores are without power leaving them helpless. No electricity. No water. THIS IS NOT OKAY.
I am willing to rent a van/uhaul and head down there but we need to get them help. I’m looking to get bottled water, canned goods, propane heaters - whatever we can come up with to take down there and do our part. All suggestions welcome.
I saw this on Tele.Gram and my heart aches. I can’t shake the feeling they are being punished for talks of leaving the Union. https://t.me/c/1436790933/8053
It’s time for us to strap up our boots and stand up for them and get them some damn help. I won’t stand for Americans to be ‘left in the cold’.
WWG1WGA - this is our fight, too
That may be so, but they aren’t in this alone. If they can do this to Texas, they can do it to us, too. We need to band together and let them know they are not alone.
You have a good heart! I have relatives in Texas, some with off and on power. In Amarillo and in Austin. They all tell me that everyone they know is okay, finding creative ways to keep warm and helping each other out with food, sharing generators, etc.
There are bad stories on tv or social media, and they may not be the majority of people, but of course anyone who needs help should get help. FEMA has a lot of organized resources to help folks out, and I assume they are there. (Not sure, but it seems they should be.) Maybe check out online to see what hey are doing, and what he Red Cross might be doing. Most communities have some kind of central place where people can go for help in a disaster like this.
Not saying you shouldn’t go help, if you feel the call, do it. Bless you for your efforts. Keep us posted, you’ll be in our prayers.
Apparently many here in NC are getting their own ice and snow. You might want to contemplate helping out some of them.
I'm from the Raleigh area
I’m not too far from you!
Nice lol I'm in wake forest
You may want to think this through a bit. I’ve done some impromptu disaster relief and you may wind up either putting yourself in a serious jam and/or taking resources away from others. You will have no fuel available, no fuel, no heat, etc. all the hotels are maxed out. TX is big and it takes a lot of fuel to get in and out. You may want to look at donating the money to Samaritans Purse. I know that is less than optimal and totally get wanting to help in person. But this may not be the time. Also look into what the Cajun Navies are doing - very possible they may be running resupply.
Maybe you’re right. I just hate knowing they need help and I’m sitting here behind a computer doing nothing.
Oh, this is amazing and GREAT point. Thank you so, so much.
Okay. Thank you.
If you start a crowd funding I'll donate
I am not sure what that is, but I will look it up.
