Please help.
The outpouring of offers of help is greatly appreciated and I am glad that people are leaving comments here on how they can help but please, if you have a refrigerator/freezer, please consider donating it's time to help rather than renting it. The areas that are hit are hit hard and money is SUPER TIGHT. Please be kind and generous with your supplies.
Sure, you could make money and have some profit but these are your fellow human beings in a dire situation with very limited financial resources.
Thank you.

A lot of the big evil corporations are chipping in to help. I heard Coke in Atlanta sent down a small fleet of trucks with bagged ice and water to Orlando. I assume they sent some your way, too.
Exxon Mobil has donated $100,000 to the Red Cross for meals and shelter.
There are probably a ton of businesses trying to help out. Hopefully, the ones that are charging for services are either just covering their costs because they can't afford to give it away or simply didn't think about it and are not trying to make a buck off the tragedy...

I hope so Solonor because these people really need help. I would hope that no one was just in it for a buck but sadly, there have been several cases of price gouging at hotels and motels and people over charging for water and ice.
