We've all heard about the devastating storms that took apart the south. In our travels, we passed through part of that area just after it hit, having on a whim deciding to remain slightly longer in Southern Carolina instead of heading to our new destination. The RV park we showed up a day after the storm? One mile away from a touchdown.
We feel very very fortunate.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, my good friends Bree and Donna of Moira Rogers were surrounded by the storms in Alabama. You can read the account Bree posted on her blog. It's heart-wrenching. But they too made it out unscathed.
Not everyone was so lucky.
So we want to help, and I want to encourage you to give as well. The easiest way is to donate to the Red Cross. They are there, and can give where it is needed. But if you'd like a little different approach, a group has organized a benefit auction. Here's our contribution:
One refurbished Nook (3G + WiFi) still in box + digital ebook bundles from Vivian Arend & Moira Rogers, including:
Vivian Arend: Wolf Signs, Wolf Flight, Wolf Games, Wolf Tracks, Tidal Wave, Whirlpool, Turn it On, Turn it Up, Falling Freestyle, Stormchild, Stormy Seduction
Moira Rogers: A Safe Harbor, Undertow, Cry Sanctuary, Sanctuary Lost, Sanctuary Price, Sanctuary Unbound, Crux, Crossroads, Deadlock, Wilder's Mate, Sabine
If you'd like to bid on this item, please drop in here. For all other items up for bid, check here. Thank you for considering helping, any way you can.
I, too, have friends and family in Birmingham, Alabama. I have family up to Huntsville, Alabama. The devastation was and is awful and my heart and thoughts go out to everyone that was affected.
This is a great thing, y’all are doing.
