Two kayakers try to beat the current pushing them down an overflowing Brays Bayou along S. Braeswood in Houston, Texas, Sunday, Aug. 27, 2017. Rescuers answered hundreds of calls for help Sunday as floodwaters from the remnants of Hurricane Harvey climbed high enough to begin filling second-story homes, and authorities urged stranded families to seek refuge on their rooftops.

I know many of you, like me, have been watching in horror as Southeastern Texas has been pummeled mercilessly by Hurricane Harvey. Here’s a quick list of organizations who are looking for donations of any size:
American Red Cross – Looking for donations starting at just $10. Visit http://redcross.org Call 1-800-Red Cross or text HARVEY to 90999.
Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services – Donate online at https://disaster.salvationarmyusa.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY
Catholic Charities – You can donate online at https://app.mobilecause.com or text CCUSADISASTER to 71777
Austin Pets Alive! – This no-kill pet advocacy group is helping shelters in the direct line of Harvey and as of Saturday a.m. had already transported over 235 animals to their shelter. They’re looking for donations and other help on their website. https://austinpetsalive.org
You can also visit The National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD). This is a coalition of all the reputable and trusted disaster relief organizations here in the U.S. – http://nvoad.org

I couldn’t stand just sitting here feeling helpless anymore Dani. Because both my husband and I are disabled, we really don’t have much money, but many of these places accept small donations.

I never thought anything could be worse than what happened to New Orleans, but it looks like this’ll be one for the history books Pete. Especially since Harvey is basically going to be sitting there for days.😔

Thank you for this, Kim. I’m helping as much as I can. I’m just glad my family and friends are OK over there. My sister and brother-in-law can’t leave their house but luckily it’s not flooded inside. We have some evacuees coming to El Paso really soon. I helped a family that lost everything in Corpus Christi. They got away and came back to El Paso. They lost their apartment and car over there. A fellow blogger is also there. Thank God she’s alright.

Thank you ❤ I'm fine but I just worry about my loved ones and all who are affected. I will continue to donate what I can, a little bit of money, some food, etc. That's the least I can do. I text my sister and friends to make sure they are ok. I'm so glad a lot of people want to help.
