For those that send funds from the USA using fiat, I recommend checking with your company to see if they are willing to match your donation. It's tax deductible for them, and it helps you get some extra bang for your buck when you send the money.
There have been so many natural disasters recently. The Mexico earthquakes, the hurricane in Houston, and then 2 hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. No one's really catching a break :\
I was displaced for nearly 2 weeks with Hurricane Irma but thankfully back to normal. Don't forget the fires that hit the west coast! There is so much devastation and need it's almost too difficult to know where to start.
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that! I'm glad things are back to normal now, and hopefully they'll stay that way. And you're right, the fires escaped my mind.
