Let's Band Together
I
recently received a sad e-mail from my mother who reported that a dear
friend who moved to New Orleans to retire had lost everything due to
Katrina's devastation. Her home, which she put a lot of love and energy
into fixing up, her life momentos, such as her mother's china, her
children's pictures..everything. My mother's story of her friend is not
uncommon..there are stories of others just like her who have lost their
homes and worse, lost loved ones. We have seen the pictures and read the stories ourselves. Stories about dead bodies floating in the streets, stories of looting... it's endless.
Now
is the time for action. Let's band together as a nation, no.. as a
world full of compassionate people and help. It does not have to take
much, even $5 goes a long way. If you are unable to donate
money, please consider donating clothing and bedding to your local
religious institutions and public schools, as many are collecting items
to send. Please, won't you help?
