Re: Condolences
Things her on the PA/NY border are fine.. Horrible tragedy.... I just
hope cooler heads prevail in this period of grieving, frustration, and
emotional stress... RIght before my pumpkin prayer tonite, I will be
saying a very long one for all those involved, directly, or indirectly..
I also encourage all to give a good long thought to donating blood in
this critical shortage for the hospitals..
here is a copy of what you can do to help..
Here's what you can do to help:
American Red Cross needs financial and blood donations. Call your local
Red Cross chapter or 1-800-GIVE-LIFE. The Red
Cross web site has been down periodically but may be accessible at
www.redcross.org. They are currently most in need of
types O and RH negative blood.
AmeriCares has established a fund to aid the victims of the attack. Call
1-800-486-4357 or visit www.americares.org to
contribute to the "Aid for Terrorist Attack Victims."
FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) recommends the National
Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster
Web site www.nvoad.org, which contains links to religious and secular
volunteer groups.
The Red Cross also has advice that can help people deal with their
feelings brought about by the terrorist attack. Among
recommendations for coping:
* Talk about feelings
* Ask for help - strong feelings can last for weeks
* Listen to other people and be kind
* Spend time with family and return to the usual routine
* Look away from graphic news videos
* Reassure children that parents will protect them and take every
precaution to keep them safe
* Recall other fearful times that did not last forever
* Do something that could help others
Let us pull together as a nation to demonstrate our compassion and
strength in this time of great sorrow.
