I am an affiliate partner with several of the daily deal sites — meaning they thank me with credit/compensation for sending folks to their sites.

It may not be the end of school today for you, but it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate National End of School Day with Sonic.

Head to Goldstar Houston and search these titles. You’ll need to sign up at Goldstar with an email (it’s free) to take advantage of these deals. A service fee is added per ticket as with all online ticket purchases.

Goldstar partners with Houston on the Cheap. I get a little something for sharing these great deals with my readers.

Several Houston-area restaurants are donating a percent of sales May 22 to help folks affected by the Oklahoma tornado.

Houston-area Luby’s and Fuddruckers will donate 15% of sales May 22, between 4pm – 8pm. Money will be given to the American Red Cross to help the citizens in Moore, Oklahoma. The restaurants are partnering with CBS Radio for Houston Helps: Money for Moore.

Chili’s will give 10% of sales all day May 22 to help with Oklahoma disaster relief. Print the voucher in link and show to server.  The restaurants also are collecting items during normal business hours for Red Cross: bottled water, diapers, heavy duty gloves, shovels, toiletries, and sunscreen.

The amount of destruction and heartache for the Oklahoma tornado victims is just painful to watch. After a while, I just had to turn the TV off this morning. It makes me feel numb.

Rather than feeling helpless, there are a number of ways to help. I’m proud to be a part of an amazing group of bloggers — both locally and in Texas — that are joining together to share information on how we can help. Two Houston bloggers that I admire are actually collecting supplies this week and driving up to Oklahoma Monday for Memorial Day. It’s an amazing gesture of love and support. Tiffany  (MyLitter.com) and Paul (IHeartTheMart.com) Ivanovsky are willing to deliver whatever we bring. Plans are in place for a truck and trailer, and people are stepping up.

If you live in the Houston area and would like to provide supplies for the Ivanosky’s to deliver, most needed items (according to news reports in the area) are:

• bottled water and Gatorade
• toothbrush, toothpaste and hygiene items
• like-new clean clothes
• cleaning supplies
• baby wipes, formula and diapers
• bedding
• hand towels
• work gloves
• sunscreen
• hand sanitizer
• individually wrapped snacks

Bring donations to The Woodlands Christian Church, 1202 N. Millbend Dr., The Woodlands, 77380. They will be collecting 9 am – 4 pm all week and Saturday and Sunday. Tiffany and Paul said the goal is to sustain people until the insurance money starts coming in.

Monetary donations go a long way as well. 1) The United Way of Oklahoma has created a disaster relief fund to help area residents affected by the storm. 2) Red Cross is collecting donations by text — simple text REDCROSS to 90999 or donate at RedCross.org. 3) Salvation Army is helping first responders and disaster survivors. Text STORM to 80888 to donate $10 to help with disaster and recovery efforts. 4) Central Oklahoma Humane Society is collecting donations to help with displaced pets.

Prayers are just as important as the physical and monetary help. Please pray for these families to bring peace to their hearts when everything appears overwhelming now.
