Homes and businesses are destroyed, and families are torn apart. It is clear that this country is going to have to take in a large number of displaced people, for a time yet to be determined. After basic needs (food, water, medicine) are taken care of, there are going to be a whole lot of people who will want somewhere more permanent to stay than Houston's Astrodome. With your ticket purchase and support, together, we will make a difference.
