It’s been another splendid week here at HoneyGood.com, and as always, for that, I am eternally grateful. However, as blessed as we are, I also spent much of my week reflecting on the devastating hurricane, Florence, that is headed towards the United States and what people must be going through as they prepare to evacuate their homes.

Can you even imagine?

So today, I decided it was time to take action! Instead of simply watching the devastating destruction play out on my television screen, I’ve decided to be proactive and to help as much as I can, even from Chicago! Want to get involved? I found this resource to be a great way to start.

Helping Those in Need

Don’t think you have much money to give? Darlings, any amount helps! I think people forget that sometimes… but even $5 can make the world of difference to those families (and pets) stuck in a shelter or for task forces down in the heart of it all bringing supplies to those in need.

Even if you don’t have any money to spare, that is also perfectly fine. Donating your time is another beautiful way to show you care. I know this community of strong, powerful women are some of the most caring people out there. So let’s show the world just how true that is!

How will you step up and do your part?
