1)Wife had 0830 meeting to organize her middle school to get school supplies, clothes, games, stuffed toys for the kids at the Dome. This Ft Bend ISD school raised $5,200 for Tsunami relief, and over a hundred bags (yearly) of bathroom supplies, underwear and socks for homeless veterans who show up at the Houston Veterans Hospital.
2) Sent email to Harris County asking the best way for my friends and me to help.
3) Contacted neighbor who has a daughter working for the Salvation Army to find out their needs.
4)Last night sent email to my Pastor to get the church to organize a blood drive.
5)Just now sent email to local Rotary District asking if we can tie our efforts in with them as they will be better organized
My wife and I got together a care package of toiletiers and diapers for the people in the dome last night. Her school is taking it up.
We have a family of 4 staying with us. Cash and a job are the two biggest needs. The kids are being enrolled in to school, they need clothes and materials. The parents need a supply of cash to get in to an apartment and pay the deposits. A job is their #1 need right now so they are looking.
We are doing all we can for them. It will take a while before they will be out on their own but that's the goal.
