This is an updated, reposted diary that I think is important to repost so people know what they can do to help. I know there has been some problems with the volunteer efforts but there are a lot of organizations contributing to this cleanup who could use our help. If I have broken any rules by reposting please let me know and I will delete. Please keep our mothership afloat here.
We are all feeling the pain of what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf coast. We have seen the images of animals struggling for life and heard the stories of fishermen and members of coastal communities talking about how the spill has changed their lives forever. If you're like me you have also felt completely helpless.
The wonderful thing is there are lots of things we can do to help. Many organizations are asking for donations, volunteers and wish lists of things they need. We don't need to feel helpless, we can help.
This is our chance to show the stuff the great community of DKOS is made of. This is our chance to help. Please see the various ways you can help below the jump.
