He had just put his 2 little girls in their car seats to take them and his wife to a safe place.<br />So many of the people who lost their home were older and had paid off their mtgs, and had no ins as it wasn't required.<br />They are left with nothing.

I have no television and your collection of photos outnumbers what I have been able to glimpse at on the internet. What is wonderful to see IS how everyone is coming together.

So, I created products with images of NYC to donate the profits to the products. I wrote a post Pat, and included a link to this post and the one about What Hurricane Sandy Taught You.<br /><br />As always this post speaks to my heart. You and your friends are in my prayers. <br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-88898003970286530382012-11-08T08:57:29.740-05:002012-11-08T08:57:29.740-05:00It is truly heartwarming to see how people are com...It is truly heartwarming to see how people are coming together to help one another. I have been watching the coverage on tv, but have appreciated seeing the situation from your point of view. It is so hard to imagine losing everything at once. My heart goes out to all who are facing this and my heart goes out to the wonderful people (like you and your husband) who are doing so much to make the best of a bad situation.<br />My husband and I made a donation this morning and our prayers will continue.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-33692989482599877402012-11-08T06:21:15.749-05:002012-11-08T06:21:15.749-05:00Such a good post, Pat, to see people helping peopl...Such a good post, Pat, to see people helping people. That is the good that comes out of such devastation. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all there. Wondering how the new storm has affected the area ... must turn on the news to see. That was a good post about what you have learned. When we had hurricane Hugo 25 years ago, so very unexpected, we were without power for two weeks. And yes, learned a lot.

I have donated supplies and food to places in NY and NJ and volunteered yesterday at Belmar, NJ, a beach town that was hard hit. I'll be going back again this weekend. It will take many months and years, as you noted, to get back to "normal." Thanks for letting people know all those places and ways to help in New York. But folks - please don't forget New Jersey.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-24417374164557235592012-11-06T20:19:28.440-05:002012-11-06T20:19:28.440-05:00I'm glad to see the help!
