Hurricane Ike Disaster Relief

This is meant to be a weight loss blog, but I'm going to put that aside for a minute to encourage people to donate to the American Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Ike.

I confess that I live in Texas, a state that was hit extremely hard by this storm. Beautiful, historic Galveston lies in ruins and parts of the Houston metro area were destroyed. The storm cut a path of destruction through east Texas, also affecting Beaumont and the lovely city of Tyler.

You can help the victims of the storm by donating to the American Red Cross.

It will take weeks and months to rebuild after this storm, but in the meantime its victims need food, shelter, and medical care.

Thank you.
