I'm not sure how all the funds are being distributed at this time, but I'd like to think it contributes to some greater good that can help down the road as the chaos subsides. Worst case scenario, you have donated to a legitimate organization that will help someone, someday, somewhere.

As for our military friends and the voluntary evacuation that was announced a couple days ago, there are some who are deciding to stay and some who will be leaving. But (as with anything Navy), there is a lot of "hurry up and wait" going on. They have prioritized families with wee ones and pregnancies to head out first. Where to? Even they don't know. But I do understand operationally this is a lot to coordinate in a small amount of time. They are allowed to bring 35 or 50 pounds of belongings, unsure of when (if?) they will return to their homes and when they will see their spouses next. I can see how it would be a hard decision to leave and I'm sure there are a multitude of emotions that come with that. But if I know my friends over there, they will push through the maze of unknowns and will make it work (do you need a PoA for that? hehehe). Rock on, ladies.
