Microgiving.com is an organization trying to help Iowa flood victims. There is a team in Iowa right now but are being told basically that their help is not needed.
The team that is in Iowa knows of people living in cars and in tents who are not being helped. There are members on the MicroGiving website willing to donate to these families. We do not wish to deal with large charity programs that will decide who gets help or how much help they get. We want to be able to read their stories and decide who we will help and with how much.
What we need is a way to reach those who are not getting the federal, state or local aid.We are reaching out to Iowa news sources in hopes that someone will print, air or carry by word of mouth the website name of
MicroGiving.com and let people know there are members ready and waiting to send donations and care packages. We just need to know who they are. If they can sign up at the website we can help.
My local news channel picked up my success story when MicroGiving.com helped me. I'm a physically challenged woman who needed help with a mobility scooter. I got that help quickly. You can read about that here, I hope that helps you to understand that this is a real help site, giving real hope to people who need it.
