As we do our virtual tour through New York, New Jersey and Delaware with William Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways, I want to urge you to remember the people in those states who are being victimized by Hurricane Sandy even as I write this post. This "superstorm" is causing, in the words of some, incalcuable damage up and down the Northeastern coast.
If you wish to help those in need, please consider making a donation. The Red Cross is taking donations. This is from their website:
"Donations help the Red Cross provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance to those affected by disasters like Hurricane Sandy. To donate, people can visit www.redcross.org, call 1-800-RED-CROSS, or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to someone’s local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013."
You can also help by donating blood to the Red Cross for relief services.
Thank you for reading Littourati, and for helping those in need!
