The Red Cross allows for targetted donations to High River.
Had a few more clients reporting in today. . . . . from High River and one from Calgary.
It was actually the Calgary couple who were fairly devastated, their home along the Elbow River where they've lived for decades, destroyed. They're emotionally destroyed as well.
The folks I've been talking with in High River have been fairly chipper which is interesting.
Also talked to an official I know with Rowan House, the emergency family & women's shelter in High River. About $250,000 in damages there but possibly recoverable. A newer facility that was overrun by the water, forcing the residents to be displaced to other shelters.That would be a very targetted place to push money. It's a registered charity.
