Here on the west coast, the voices of Endear are safe and dry. But our friends on the east coast haven't been so lucky. After seeing the devastation caused by superstorm Sandy, we are without words. So many memories, so many iconic places, so many people affected by the Hurricane. We are so thankful for the people that were spared, and the wonderful souls that have set out to help those in need. After seeing the images like the ones in the video above, how can you not?
Here on the west coast, so far away from the area of devastation, and so far away from our friends, a lot of us feel pretty useless. But even if we can't be there to volunteer, there are many ways we can still lend a hand.
NYC Service has tons of information on how you can donate, give blood, and volunteer.
Occupy Sandy also shares ways to donate, a list of items needed according to location, as well as drop-off locations, and places you can go to help if you're in the area.
The Red Cross is always in need of donations, and this disaster is no different. You can find ways to donate to them on their site.
Rockaway Help has a list of items needed, a list of locations for those that can volunteer, and even provides transportation directions for those who would like to help.
We wish everyone in the tri-state area well. We're thinking of you all.
This is a lovely post! It's so sad hearing about the damage that Sandy caused, especially as someone who is also on the West Coast. There is so much we can do to help, even if we can't be there in person. Thanks for sharing this, ladies!
