Since Hurricane Sandy thoughts of those on the East Coast affected by the storm have been in the front of my mind. Even after seeing the coverage on the news, and all the photos being published it's impossible to comprehend what it must be like there. I hope and pray for the strength of these individuals as they fight their battle each day to clean up and rebuild and pray they remain safe if their efforts. They have a long, hard road ahead of them.
I am thankful for the individuals who are out there lending a hand, doing whatever they can to assist. It's been heartwarming seeing the stories online of people doing something as simple as running a power strip outside of their home, so that those without power could charge cell phones and call their families to let them know they are ok. A news segment showed a man who put on a wetsuit and pulled a paddle boat up and down his street in 12 hour shifts - getting people to and from their homes on their flooded street. People from other countries who came in for the marathon which was cancelled rolled up their sleeves and assisted with clean up efforts. Those that are housing people who lost their homes, providing meals, clothing, anything they can..... There are so many good people out there...... God Bless them all!!!!!!!!
If you wish to make a donation to the Red Cross to help support relief efforts you can visit their website. I have also noticed at many retailers you can add a donation to your purchase that goes to the Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief. That's an easy way to donate a few bucks here and there.
Keep them in your prayers......
