I did hear about the Red Cross issuing debit cards but I understood it was not
going to happen immediately; that it would be issued for only certain things;
e.g. tools to replace things lost; items to help replace things that you used
to make a living, building supplies, etc.....correct me if I'm wrong; just
wonder if they would be good for toys, hair barretts, crayons, dog/cat
supplies, etc.

how can we reasonably get this stuff shipped? I know it is easy to send
money BUT remember most stores/outlets are gone and those left are probably
charging way more than what we can get things for here.

I don't know that you can. That's the debate I had w/ myself over sending
things to Iraq and why I like the outfit in FL. (You can send money and
they'll purchase then get things shipped for next to nothing on air force
transport planes.) What I was finding is that, sure, it was a whole lot of fun
really, to shop and plan, pick up things I thought would be welcome and useful,
but shipping was high and my dollars went 2x as far and were 2x as useful if I
wasn't going to the post office or UPS store. As far as stores being out of
stock...no. The Red Cross will be issuing debit cards so people can buy the
necessities they need. They have what now...over 100 shelters in 8-9 states?
All of those locations will have plenty of stores w/ plenty of things to buy.
For the things you have packed up, Pat, contact your local Red Cross. Maybe
they know of some church groups that are sending people...
