Most of the other Red Cross things I can think of are things like earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis or other enormous calamities that seem to involve a lot more human suffering. That doesn't seem to be the case here (which isn't to suggest for a split second that people aren't going through tough times!). I guess those other events seem much more devastating than what we've seen in Calgary, if I can say that without being strung up.
Yes good question....I have donated some to them, but I'm not sure if that is really the right direction for the need of most. The best is the people who are going right to the areas to help, huge respect for all of you. But frankly I have very limited ability to do that unfortunately. So just wondering what the best way to support those affected is.

We have some friends who lost their place in High River, so we may just do everything we can for them.
