<p><span style="font-weight:400;color:#000000;">With an estimated 40,000 homes destroyed in Houston, leaving at least 22 confirmed dead, individuals and communities must confront many hardships in the coming hours, days, weeks, months and years ahead.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;color:#000000;">The tragedies unfolding in Houston have left many around the nation at a loss of how they can help, how they can provide relief to those whose lives have been left in shambles.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;color:#000000;">If you are one of those people, here’s a list of some of the organizations that are taking on this work and how you can contribute to them.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner established the</span><a href="https://ghcf.org/hurricane-relief/"> <span style="font-weight:400;">Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;">, administered by the Greater Houston Community Foundation, </span><span style="font-weight:400;">that will accept tax-deductible flood relief donations for victims affected by the recent floods.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The American Red Cross is working along the Gulf Coast to help the thousands of people whose lives have been devastated by Hurricane Harvey by</span><span style="font-weight:400;"> accepting donations</span><a href="https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-harvey?campname=Harvey&amp;campmedium=aspot"> <span style="font-weight:400;">on its website</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;">. You can also text HARVEY to 90999 to donate $10 that is charged through your phone bill.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;">AmeriCares is distributing water, aid and mobilizing medical outreach to help the thousands of people in need of aid, medicine and basic supplies. AmeriCares is</span><a href="https://secure.americares.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app250b?df_id=22191&amp;mfc_pref=T&amp;22191.donation=form1&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8NHi1df61QIVHLbACh2VIgrUEAAYAiAAEgIK2fD_BwE&amp;NONCE_TOKEN=D667E9715D23E1240570F3A751C2AC23"> <span style="font-weight:400;">asking for donations</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> to help keep up with the high demand.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;">GlobalGiving, one of the largest global crowdfunding community, has announced a goal of raising $5 million for its</span><a href="https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/hurricane-harvey-relief-fund/"> <span style="font-weight:400;">Hurricane Harvey relief fund</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> that will go towards providing food, water,shelter and aid recovery efforts for victims. At presstime, the fund is approximately $3 million away from reaching their goal.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="https://give.salvationarmyusa.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app363b?idb=716595858&amp;df_id=27651&amp;mfc_pref=T&amp;27651.donation=form1&amp;NONCE_TOKEN=539A4FEBD177D95398F256394A583420"><span style="font-weight:400;">The Salvation Army</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> is accepting donations to provide food and water to first responders and, according to their website, will remain in communities to support long-term disaster recovery efforts and provide assistance to victims.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="https://secure.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.9534757/k.CB79/Hurricane_Harvey_Relief_Fund/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp"><span style="font-weight:400;">Save the Children</span></a> <span style="font-weight:400;">is providing relief supplies and services to help children and families in shelters and other victims of Hurricane Harvey.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The</span><a href="https://texasdiaperbank.networkforgood.com/projects/33717-change-a-life"> <span style="font-weight:400;">Texas Diaper Bank</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;">, a San Antonio-based organization, is working to meet the basic needs of babies, children with disabilities and seniors that have been affected by Hurricane Harvey. They are asking for </span><span style="font-weight:400;">diapers and wipes, which can be mailed to 5415 Bandera Road, Suite 504, San Antonio, Texas., 78238.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you know anyone with disabilities who may be in the affected areas, advise them to call</span><a href="http://www.portlight.org/hurricane-harvey-announcement.html"> <span style="font-weight:400;">Portlight Inclusive</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> at (800) 626-4959 for assistance in locating shelters and other resources they may need.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The United Way of Greater Houston flood relief fund will go towards providing safety, shelter and basic needs, like food. Once the community is stabilized, United Way intends to focus on long-term recovery efforts. Visit</span><a href="https://www.unitedwayhouston.org/flood"> <span style="font-weight:400;">their website</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> to donate or text UWFLOOD to 41444 to make a donation.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;">All Hands Volunteers’ Response team is on the ground working to provide relief to victims, such as clearing debris to enable homeowners can get back into their homes. All Hands is currently </span><a href="https://give.hands.org/checkout/donation?eid=42579&amp;amount=&amp;recurring=0"><span style="font-weight:400;">accepting donations</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> to help </span><span style="font-weight:400;">victims recover and rebuild their lives and communities.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="https://www.directrelief.org/emergency/hurricane-harvey-response/"><span style="font-weight:400;">Direct Relief</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> is shipping medicine and medical supplies to Texas and has made its entire medical inventory of more than $100 million available for the Harvey relief effort. Donations can be made on</span><a href="https://secure.directrelief.org/site/Donation2?df_id=2105&amp;2105.donation=form1&amp;set.SingleDesignee=1902"> <span style="font-weight:400;">their website</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;">.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://mailchi.mp/ac80c17d9660/harvey-food-banks"><span style="font-weight:400;">Feeding Texas</span></a> <span style="font-weight:400;">is a statewide nonprofit that works alongside state and federal relief efforts. The food bank is encouraging donors to</span><a href="https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/feeding-texas"> <span style="font-weight:400;">donate money</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> instead of food, so that donations can be used more effectively.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;color:#000000;">Many people need help right now and as people are still being rescued, and the full financial and human toll has yet to be found, ordinary Americans have an opportunity to do their part to help.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
