I am willing to donate $1000 to rent a truck, purchase water and other needed supplies and take it to them. I will do this if I can get four or five others to assist me, perhaps make the trip and donate money and time. There are several veteran organizations here in TV. American Legion, Vietnam Veterans of America, DAV, VFW etc. Can I get some other veterans or just people who will help me?

I am pretty sure the last thing they want right now is a bunch of old people getting in the way. Donate your money to organizations that are experienced in dealing with this.
