And it isnt over. Hunger, exposure and disease await those that managed to stay alive during the devastation.
It's time for us to reach deep into our souls and pray and deep into our pockets and help.

Haven't you heard? We're "stingy!" It'd be interesting to see how much support is given by not only our gov't, but by average Americans doing as you say and digging into our pockets.
