For anyone who wishes to help financially with the current United States
Disaster relief effort. Here is a listing of relief agencies, from the New
York Times.  This is a horrible disaster, beyond the scope of my
imagination....and it makes me think of those who are in disaster situations
in other countries, in similar or even worse circumstances.  Peace. Kathleen
