Hurricane Sandy has devastated most of the northern coast of America. Numerous organizations are try to ease the process of the devastated losses many people have faced. The hurricane has caused between 30 and 50 billion dollars in economic costs. Sandy hit New York, New Jersey and other nations including Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Haiti. Haiti experienced the loss of thousands of homes as well as an outbreak of the deadly waterborne disease known as cholera. The Red Cross is trying to help those who have suffered from Sandy by sending things like food, blankets, and water, though the Red Cross cannot take care of everyone alone; many more volunteers have helped by giving of their time and energy to take care of those who need it. Additionally, one of the ways that everyone can help is by keeping them in our prayer, giving time, money, or energy to help. Since most of us cannot go directly to help, we can continue to support the organizations that can.
