Reply #225: Today I turned in my canisters at the Red Cross... [View All]

and I was not sure what I was going to see or feel because of the stories I have been hearing. My family and I decided right after the Hurricane to donate all of our Garage Sale proceeds to the Red Cross. Last week we had the sale and made a lot of money. Today I turned in the canisters we used and I brought my kids with me. Right when I walked in there were signs everywhere directing people where to go. A huge Salvation Army sign was right by the front desk along with designated areas for evacuees. The volunteers there were so friendly and appreciative toward me and my children. The building was full of people who needed help and people who were there to help. I left with a feeling of people are inherently good. Our canisters had "hurricane relief" written on them and I believe that is where my money is going.

imho
