Help Needed

Laurie over at Soldiers’ Angels NY posted a plea from an Army spouse at Fort Benning GA yesterday:

I am writing on behalf of the military tornado victims of Thursday night's storm in Columbus, GA beside Fort Benning. The housing shortages and inadequate housing at Fort Benning causes many military families to look off base for housing. While the base did not receive much damage in this recent storm, many houses of military families off base were impacted.

These families are in desperate need of help and are falling between the cracks in the system. Inexplicably, they are not receiving requested help from the Red Cross, Military One Source, or United Way. Each of these organizations has suggested calling one of the others.

It’s not just Fort Benning, either. Army families at Fort Rucker in Alabama were also hit hard by those horrible tornadoes this past week.

Laurie has the details and a Paypal link. If you can spare a few dollars you should get on over to Laurie’s and pony up. To say this is a "good cause" would be redundant in the extreme…

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
