| Helping Greensburg Survivors. A thought occurred to me that a post talking about what our community as a whole needs to do to help the survivors of the Greensburg tragedy. I work at the Travelodge here in Dodge and its just breaking my heart having to turn people from Greensburg away. We have one larger family here that has no money and no means to get food at this time. Our hotel has been helping quite a bit by providing them with some Pizzas or other foods but they like all the other survivors in our town need some good home cooked meals and maybe a roof over their heads temporarily. The hotels in town are trying their damndest to accommodate them. But we like all the others are so stressed to our capacity limit that we are having to turn them away. Its breaking my heart and I'm moved to tears on about 10-15 seperate occasions a day. This is what I'm proposing to the community. Call the local area hotels. Find out if they are housing any survivors at all. If you have an open room in your house please open your hosue to them. If nothing else, cook something and bring it to them. These people have no means to help themselves for the short term. On a side note, I asked my mother to cook a large dinner for about 10 and bring it to the large family we have staying here. I'm just trying to help these people because its not right to do nothing.     |

| One thing to add. If you are having difficulty getting ahold of any of the survivors, contact me at the Travelodge, our # is 620-225-2125. My name is Matt. I know this is supposed to be a semi-anonymous forum but in this time of crisis I just don't care. If I'm not at work leave a message for me. I'll get back to you. I want to help these people out so bad, please help me help them. |

| I think one big problem is that people with room to offer don't know or don't have a centralized number to call to offer the room(s) that they have. I know people at work that have a spare bed or two for english speaking people, since they want to be able to communicate with them, but they have looked on the Red Cross website and found nothing and that type of info isn't being put out by any news angencies.
