The reports I hear and see are so awful and make me thankful for what I have. Bless you for reaching out. <br /><br />On the radio the director of Covenant House (a shelter for homeless teens serving New York and New Jersey) was sharing some of the amazing stories of survival. As I work with abused children that just felt like a good fit for me to help at this time. It's wonderful to know there's organizations like Red Cross, Covenant House, Etc. out there in times of need.
