One of the worst news a person can receive is that a storm is brewing and they must prepare for a hurricane heading their way.
Hurricane relief is the buzzword this season with the eastern seaboard of the USA and the island nations off of the coast having seen unprecedented destruction due to the multiple hurricanes forming over water and hitting land as category 4 and 5 storms.
In today’s increasingly insular world, it is a disaster of Hurricane Harvey’s scale that makes us stop, disconnect and take a look around us to see that there are real people in real trouble needing our help. Individual and group volunteering opportunities abound in and around Houston, and it is heartening to see people put aside everything to assist those who are more affected than they are.
