(CNN)Hundreds of people have answered the call,
waiting in line to give blood to help the victims in the Orlando,
Florida, terror attack, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S.
history.
So many that OneBlood, the local blood
bank, met its needs for Sunday, according to Pat Michaels, a spokesman who
spoke to CNN affiliate
WFTV.
But the organization
will need blood in the coming days, especially for the rarer types -- O
negative, O positive and AB plasma, says Michaels.
You can help the
victims with monetary donations, as well. Equality Florida, a nonprofit LGBT
civil rights organization, has set up a GoFundMe account for
the victims and their families. Equality Florida spokesperson Ida Vishkaee
Eskamani says all of the money donated will go the relatives. The initial goal was
$500,000 which was met in just hours. Now the goal is $1 million. "We've gotten
responses from folks all over the world," says Eskamani.
The global nonprofit
organization Planting Peace has set up a site for donations on CrowdRise. The money
donated will help cover the funeral and medical costs of the victims. The goal
is $100,000.
Orlando Mayor Buddy
Dyer said that relatives of victims who need information can call a special
hotline at (407) 246-4357.
Impact Your World will
continue to look for ways you can help.
On this very difficult day, so many of us offer heartfelt
condolences to today’s victims and their families. Many are working tirelessly

process. Please keep the following individuals in your thoughts and prayers. #PrayforOrlando
