How about a special fund set up for the many injured who may have no health care to cover the cost?..ans for direct donations to the families of the ones who perished. Unexpected funerals are very expensive, and many people let insurance go when times get tough.

blood is the way to help. I checked. Bonfils Blood Center that operates in that area is slammed and not taking walk-in donors. Not surprising. People really turn out when something like that happens.
