Donating Profits from Dandelion Serenade to Flood Relief

As a mom who sent her kids off to Christian summer camp, my heart breaks for the families of the lost children. It could happen to anyone and I think every mother feels the weight of these losses in some way. I can’t even imagine not knowing where your child is but knowing in your heart they must be gone from this world. There are still children missing–babies–and my heart breaks for them. There are displaced pets all over, and you know how I love my critters. Others survived but are hurting terribly both financially and emotionally.

I don’t pretend to know what those families went through but I need to do something, even if something small. Since it released on that fateful day, I am going to donate all profits this month from Dandelion Serenade to Kerrville Pets Alive to help in their efforts to reunite pets with their owners. I’m hoping to donate several hundred dollars, but we shall see how much it is.

I hope other authors will consider joining in as they are able and also donating where they can to an organization with boots on the ground. Do your research and avoid The Red Cross. I can tell you from experience that they keep most of the money and offer very little help. When the tornado hit in Henryville, it was pathetic how much they raised and how little they did. I will say that Habitat for Humanity helped several families here, so if you want to donate to a larger organization that may be a good one that may come in and help later. Do what you can, even if it is just a small prayer for people you don’t know but you still feel a connection to because you know they are hurting.
