Lots of people pitched in during that crisis to help those in need. Wish our government would have helped as much.
Glad they are being recognized.

You are right about the government not doing their part to assist the victims of Hurricane Helene. Help groups did assist persons in need during the disaster.

Such heroes should always be acknowledged, in some way, or another.
