Sending Love Florida!
Are you sitting around, watching the Ian devastation on a screen and asking yourself, “What can I do to help!?”
After reviewing the social media feeds of persons in authority in Florida, and conducting a few searches, my independent assessment is to approach this from two perspectives:
For Floridians IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE, the Florida Division of Emergency Management shared this Tweet:
“If you or someone you know needs assistance or a safety check, please visit: http://Missing.fl.gov.”

For those seeking ways in which to assist, donations to established organizations are a preferred, time tested manner of rendering aid. Read on for links* which contain suggestions in that area, as well as additional opportunities to assist our beloved family and friends in Florida.
