How to Help in the Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts

I have been sitting back watching the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in Texas with my jaw dropped and it just doesn’t seem real; things like don’t happen to places you’ve been, right? I grew up in Texas, so the people there will always have a chunk of my heart. It has been devastating to see the pictures roll of in of people being completely displaced and losing all of their physical possessions. They will have to start over and it just doesn’t seem fair. And that describes a lot of life.

What I do know and what helps give me hope is that I know God loves these people and will help them find a way to rebuild. I was talking to a friend and we were also so comforting and in awe of how many people have stepped up to help in the efforts. There is silver lining in every trial, and that is love. Hard situations like this give others opportunities for service and for helping others and it is beautiful to see the goodness that lives in people.

Here is a list of some places that you can help, if you’ve been looking for a way:

  • LDS Philanthropies. My church is putting in great work to aid in helping during this time! 100% of your donation will go to helping where is needed.

    One of the best blogs, I’ve seen to organize and quickly make help available! I went to Haiti, as a nurse/health care provider immediately after the earthquake in 2010! We saw many of the above mentioned organizations in action.
    Personally, LDS Family Services/philanthropies worked quickly and were well prepared for this type of dessaster, and, they stayed the longest!! Long after the news media and actors staring in YouTube videos were gone, many great organizations stayed! Drs without boarders will care for manny after this health situation erupts in needs!
    Catholic charities provided food for us working and patients families!
