I saw this sign on my way home, which warmed my heart. It is nice to know that other blue dots are in a ruby-red state.

Three weeks ago we were making our way to Detroit to start our vacation. This bus carried us there.
Here’s to the journalists, news crews, and others on the scene in Florida providing vital information regarding the hurricane. Keep them safe as they do their work.

To paraphrase Mr. Rogers “look for the helpers” and in the case of pending natural disasters that are FEMA, first responders, the NOAA, local, state and federal government officials plus volunteers who are there in the aftermath. Now is not the time to listen to people who are just spreading misinformation because people are in harms way .

This is an interesting question because so many deserving causes need help. I would give a sizable gift to my church which also runs a school. Then I would donate some to my high school and college alma mater. I would give to organizations that tackle hunger and homelessness in my community. We have a shelter dog and I would donate to an animal shelter where he came from. The Red Cross helps people during disasters and I can speak from experience there.
The thing about it is that I don’t have to have a million to give. Small gifts are welcome too.
To all in the path of Hurricane Milton, I hope you are doing what you must to be safe and secure away from the storm. This thing is going to be dangerous. Please take care and think of your neighbors who might need a hand. May God be with you and yours in the days ahead. Also, be mindful of those recovering from Helene who are still digging out. Resources will be available to you all in the aftermath.
