Those of us who live in New York are still working to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.<\/p>\n

Throughout the last week, it has been heartwarming to see so many New Yorkers whose lives have experienced only minor disruption traveling into ravaged neighborhoods and volunteering their efforts to assist those whose situation is much more precarious.<\/p>\n

Many, many people, however, are still in great need. An estimated 30,000-40,000 in the city are without homes right now, and many of those with homes are still lacking basic services.<\/p>\n

If you would like to contribute to assist hurricane victims, we recommend donating to The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York<\/a>. This is from the Fund’s website:<\/p>\n

The Mayor\u2019s Fund is accepting financial donations from organizations and individuals to support hurricane relief efforts. One hundred percent of donations are being dispersed to relief efforts and organizations. The City is currently identifying immediate aid needs, including food, water and hygiene supplies, as well as long-term relief and restoration efforts. To donate by mail, make checks payable to Mayor\u2019s Fund to Advance New York City<\/em> and send to 253 Broadway, 8th<\/sup> Floor, New York City, New York 10007 (in memo line: Hurricane Sandy Relief). \u00a0For any questions or to donate over the phone call 311 (212-NEW-YORK outside New York City).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not convinced to donate yet? Here’s a little incentive. For today, November 6 2012, we will donate 100% of all\u00a0digital pattern<\/a> sales to The Mayor’s Fund. Buy one or more digital patterns, and the full price of your purchase will be donated to support hurricane relief efforts in New York City. It couldn’t be much easier, could it?<\/p>\n

Already have all the digital patterns you need but still want to help? You can make a donation directly to The Mayor’s Fund by mailing a check to the address above or by using your credit card on the Fund’s donation page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update, November 7:<\/strong> Thanks to those of you who participated in our fund raiser, we are sending a check to The Mayor’s Fund for $1,362.95 today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
