Occupy Sandy

This is why we say thank you to Occupy Sandy Relief NYC everyday.

"Noreen Ellis begged the American Red Cross for help a few days after Superstorm Sandy slammed into the U.S. East Coast.

 A 90-year-old bedbound woman living on Ellis’s block needed to be moved from the Rockaways, an eight-mile long, narrow spit of land in New York City, to a shelter with heat and electricity.

 “I said, ‘This woman needs to be transported. Can you help?’ And the Red Cross said, ‘We don’t do that,’” Ellis said.

 She shot back: 'What does the Red Cross do?'"
