At this moment, money is the best help. But, as these people have to start over and many only have the clothes on their backs, we can take our cotton and our skills and make simple clothing. Basic sundresses or shorts. Pajamas will be needed. Even if you are not a garment seamstress, these are simple and with kids, they require no 'real' fitting and will be so needed. And, how about when you go to target or that type of store, pick up a couple packages of underwear or socks. I'm sure we will hear of places to send them very soon - charitable organizations, churches, or the like. Many of these folks have no home to return to and will be temporarily relocated. At these new locations, they will need everything. This might be a great time for us to clean out our 'extra' stuff. Do you have an old set of dishes, pots and pans, towels, etc. that you won't use again but will make someone else thrilled to have? I'm sure there is an organization in your area that is putting together relief supplies. Call your city hall and ask.
