However, to have the ability to say, I am grateful and I will express my gratitude by helping others, is the greatest of all qualities. Americans are known to roll up their sleeves and work side by side, oftentimes not even thinking of their own safety. Some of us can volunteer and others can send their personal tithe funds to where they are most needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are now starting to see all the damage from Ian. An unbelievable amount of people are displaced and have lost everything. The total death count from Ian is at 80 today, according to some media outlets; and from Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico, the death toll is 16. These hurricanes have left people feeling disheartened and uneasy. The best way to shake off this feeling of helplessness is to help someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The areas hit the hardest by the storm were Florida, specifically Fort Myers Beach and surrounding areas, as well as Cuba and parts of South Carolina. Residents of Puerto Rico are still recovering after Hurricane Fiona caused an island-wide blackout on Sept. 18 (According to PowerOutage.us, more than 300,000 residents are still without power).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a>&#8216;s staff is working hard to locate all areas of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/have-you-been-affected-by-hurricane-ian-find-help-today-here\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">funding<\/a> for the communities and victims of these hurricanes and other natural disasters. Unfortunately, the hurricane season is not over yet. We know the road ahead will be long, and we are doing what we do best \u2014 finding and posting grants. Preparation is very important, and we are looking for those<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grants-filter.php?category_id%5B%5D=48\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> grants<\/a> as well. Whether it&#8217;s a hurricane, fire, tornado, or flood, we want to make sure the resources are available to ensure safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, we are providing some opportunities for anyone that wants to help disaster-affected communities. We will continue to update this list regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to help, there are many avenues for you to get involved.
