Sandy

As you know Hurricane Sandy in the East Coast affected millions of us in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. We were one of the fortunate ones that made it without flooding or severe damage. We sympathize with our fellow New Yorker's, NJ and CT that lost their homes, families and/or electricity during the storm. We now have to face the next few weeks with bravery and patience as we try to regain our rhythm. We know that a large part was not affected personally in New York but we must not forget the rest of our family and neighbors. We hear your cry and we're here to help in any way we can. If you wish to help in you may:


  • Volunteer at a shelter, which could be a public school in your area. Visit www.nyc.gov for more.
  • Donate blood to the Red Cross as blood supplies are low due to canceled blood drives. Monetary contributions can be made at www.redcross.orgcall 800-Red-Cross or text the word "Redcross" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. 
  • The Salvation Army has dozens of mobile feeding units and shelters along the East Coast that are working to serve thousands in the most heavily hit areas. Visit www.salvationarmyusa.org to donate.
  • Donate or volunteer at the Food Bank. www.foodbanknyc.org
  • New York Sports Club is kindly opening its doors until November 14th to anyone (with photo ID) in need of showers, charging stations and workouts! www.mysportsclubs.com to find a location. 

We are also collecting the following:



  1. Clothes/shoes
  2. Bottled water - their water may have been compromised and are in dire need! 
  3. Food (non perishable) cookies and such are also welcome! 
  4. Blankets, socks, gloves, hats, scarves to keep warm

We were able to capture images as the storm was approaching and the aftermath of some areas where we were able to reach.  Keep in mind other areas were severely damaged and need our help.
