In honor of the five year anniversary of "Super Storm Sandy," Melissa and Pete share about their experiences losing many possessions to the hurricane and dealing with the damages. For many of us never having experienced natural disaster first-hand, their sharing can help us better understand what so many are going through after the most recent natural disaster in our country and the world. You can find the transcript for this show at wishyouknewpodcast.com/transcripts. If you are looking for places to give, charitynavigator.org has a link on their homepage specifically for Hurricane Maria relief efforts. Mercycorps.org is another organization with a good track record for relief that empowers the local community and supports local economies. Melissa and Pete mention samaritanspurse.org as an organization that provided great support to their neighborhood after the storm. We can all do more to prepare for the unexpected. Below is a link to a disaster preparedness kit. https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/WGGVKQRGBR0G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_ws_fTyuyb2AMSKJW Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those around the globe facing natural and human induced disaster.
