How can YOU help ?

Here are some additional suggestions ~

Donate Blood at a local blood donation site. Even if your pint doesn't actually get to New York City, your pint WILL help to relieve the shortage and prevent another shortage from developing in your area as supplies are shifted to New York and Virginia.

Make a donation to the Red Cross. See their site at: http://www.redcross.org/.

Make a donation to the relief funds that are being organized for Firefighter, Police, EMS, and Victim Families. One for Firefighters has been established by Firehouse.com, and it will ensure that all the money actually goes to the family members and none is wasted. See: http://www.firehouse.com/. As this is posted, the Fund is mentioned in the upper right corner of the opening page; but it could move as the page is updated.

Make a donation to a greater New York or Virginia animal rescue or charity that pledges to help Critters made homeless by their owner's death or disability at the hands of these terrorists. Maybe some of our NYC or DC members could research and recommend rescue groups that will be involved with pets displaced by Tuesday's events.

And... Say a Prayer for the Rescue Folks and Victims, and all their Family Members.

May God Bless all the Fire Guyz and Search Dawgs working in New York and at the Pentagon.
