"Whatever you guys can do, we've been hit really hard," pleads Gravano. "Donate blood….. things you don't need in your everyday life."

"The Red Cross can't make it out till tomorrow," says Rizzo. "People here are in desperate need of everything."

Residents of Staten Island have been very vocal about their feelings of isolation and the lack of assistance they believe they've had, with some residents calling the area "the forgotten borough."
