What do I have at my disposal to help out? Money is the obvious. Which I'm sure many of us have already done. I have a friend who is going to TX to volunteer in helping a family get back to a sense of normal. What can be done to help these people? What can be sent, where can it be sent? What groups need more money then say a Red Cross or a United Way? I know the smaller ones do just as much good.

What can we do as fellow human beings to aid another in a time of great need?

I would Imagine water containers, and Potable Aqua tablets would be a good thing to send. contacting the Red Cross would be a good idea.

I know they need new clothes.
