Help Midwest flooding victims

Flooding in the Midwest over the last week or so has been devastating. Iowa is facing tremendous damage, and now parts of Missouri and Illinois are flooding. Several other states have been affected — Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Indiana, South Dakota. Levees breaking have only made things worse. Families have been displaced, farmland has been ruined, and the whole situation is just absolutely heartbreaking.

If you’re looking for a way to help out — and boy, could Midwesterners really use your help — the best thing to do is donate money.
