I just got back from one of the major areas where they are accepting
donations to help the rescue workers. I was told that they need dry
and clean clothes, specifically underwear, socks, t-shirts and
sweatpants (in order of importance). While there I read signs saying
other things that they need and they are as follows:

dust masks
work gloves
flashlights
batteries
toothbrushes and toothpaste

I don't know the exact places to send these things but I amsure that
if you send them to the following address they will get to the people
who need them:

Chelsea Piers
Rescue Worker Donations
New York, NY 10011

Rescue workers are working hard, sleeping in the streets for a few
hours and going back to work. They are often working knee deep in
water and muck and need fresh clothes to change into between shifts.
The use of the other items is self-explanatory.

For more information about donations, try the link below. Also visit
www.redcross.org to see what you can do to help them. Thank you
everyone for your support. I know that everyone is going through this
with us; it may have happened in NYC but it happened to the whole
country and beyond.

If anyone wants to make a henna prayer flag and send it to me, just
email me at the address above and I will tell you where to send it. I
will string them up and hang them fro
