I imagine there are hundreds, if not thousands, of other communities responding the same way. 
If you really want to help, give blood as soon as you can and try to recruit others to give blood. |
That is awesome and how it should be.... people helping people. That is great that your community, as well as others, are stepping up.
As for blood, I can't give blood myself, I have this little heart thing called a mitral valve prolapse and they won't let me give blood.. but I do agree, that's a good idea and I would be willing to bet they are having blood drives around here, they always do when this sort of thing happens.
My kids schools are all making care packages for them, they sent the forms home with them yesterday, which makes my kids feel good and like they are doing something to help.
detoxed, that's fine..... and I respect what you are saying, but I still don't think blaming is doing anything at this point in the game. Hell, I ain't even gonna point the finger at Bush or anyone else... just get them helped, that's all MY point is, anyone else can have all the points they wanna have, MY point is just get them help and don't waste precious energy doing anything else right now.
