Can I urge those of us more fortunate to be generous when requests for financial help are made.
bc,
Share your sentiments. Take heart, I'm very confident we will respond generously - we have already started fundraising at school and I believe the DEC and the various church and charity requests have gone out. Listened to the radio interview yesterday where a medic was desperately imploring the world to respond and to do it quickly - truly heart breaking. God speed the Navy I can only imagine the boost to spirits never mind the material effect of seeing help like that arrive.
