AFTERMATH - Volunteering after Sandy

Flying into NYC on the red-eye, over the city just before sunrise you could really see the effect of Sandy. I was amazed to see where all the electricity was out in Queens and Long Island and the amount of coastline that was washed out and homes just devastated. You begin to understand the awe of nature and devastation left by hurricane sandy.
My Friend Taaj found places for us to go and volunteer our time to help after I arrived. Met some other friends  and made some new. 
God Bless NewYorkers for that strength to pick up and move forward!
We also brought blankets people still are without power and heat and that can be deadly with cold weather coming...
Red Cross and organizations still need money and helping hands especially for the elderly or homebound people and animals

Here are some links to help and new
