Recently we have had many different natural disasters we have had Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Jose, Hurricane Maria, an earthquake in Mexico, serveral wildfires and so many other things.
The thing is, we all want to help these people out, but sometimes we don't know how. But there is always a way, whether you live in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean or even if you are not in a disaster area there is always a way you can help. Just look at these three things you can do and some websites you can refer to!
1. Do a donation drive

Whether it is clothes, food, supplies, whatever you can donate that is new or in good condition, You will often see some food pantries and churches collecting donations for these kinds of things, look up any location close to you, and donate what you can.
2. Donate blood if you can.

There are so many people that need blood right now, so if you are in the area look for any banks that might be accepting donations. It warms my heart that there are tourists donating their blood to help out those in need, so if you qualify and you are able to donate some blood.
3. Donate whatever you can to a good cause!

Whether its online, or in a little donation jar at a store every little bit helps, those good people out there need your help and that little bit of change can make all the difference.
Even if it doesn't seem like much, even the smallest thing can make all the difference. So make sure you get out there and be the change that we all need right now.
