I wasn’t planning to post today, until I saw this story “Boy donates savings for Disney trip to buy food for Hurricane Dorian evacuees“. It seems that 6 year old Jermaine Bell, concerned that those who had to evacuate due to Hurricane Dorian might get hungry on the way to safety, so he did something about it.
So often, we hear about people upon seeing a tragedy, send good thoughts and prayers (which, I believe are good things), but don’t seem to be able to find a practical way to DO something about the tragedy. Please read the article and be as embarrassed as I feel. I’m sure we could all find a concrete way to help like donating blood or platelets or donating money to a reliable relief fund. Better yet, if you’re able to do something in person, don’t be afraid to try. Just remember young Jermaine!
