Hurricane Harvey. Where to Donate. How to Help.

I live in Texas. Specifically, Austin.
My brother lives in Houston.
My best friend lives on Galveston Island. Her family lives
in Dickinson.
My niece and her husband live in Houston.
My son’s college roommates live in Houston.
Our good friends live in Katy.
The list goes on.
How can you help? I
could write paragraphs and paragraphs, but I really feel the easiest way is to
just directly link pages of information and agencies. Some of the links provide good tips for
donating.
**PLEASE be wary of
GoFundMe campaigns for Hurricane Harvey. Do not donate unless you personally
know the individuals running the campaign. Unfortunately, in times of crisis
and natural disasters, people pray on the generous. There are dozens of
reputable agencies (see links below) that will get the funds to those on
need.**
Please help if you can.

I
know that there are countless articles, but these are some of the most recent.
As always, take a few minutes to read the articles, research the agency and
make an informed decision.
Thank
you for your time and helping the state of Texas. We are Texas proud and we
thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
