They NEED to be seen and heard. <br /><br />But I'm so empathetic, it just about kills me seeing the images portrayed on the TV. And I have two small children who need a mommy that is functional...so I've really tried to limit my exposure. <br /><br />We are going to donate money as soon as our income taxes arrive, which should be soon. <br /><br />Thanks for this heartfelt post, Janie.<br /><br />)O(<br />booBridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844738855874754351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-9307528897197087802010-01-20T06:17:01.591-06:002010-01-20T06:17:01.591-06:00I know what you mean, I am a news freak so I norma...I know what you mean, I am a news freak so I normally have on some form, NPR, CNN playing in the background. The last week has found me at times simply clenching up and becoming very overwhelmed with all the pain and seeming hopelessness of the situation. I've been turning it off. I just can't handle constant coverage. <br /><br />To say the situation is dire is the biggest understatement ever made. The stories coming out of there are horrific at best. My mind isn't even capable of imagining what it must be like on the ground there. It's wonderful to see the world rising to their aid, and yes - they will continue to need so much much more for awhile yet to come. I have nothing of my own really to give, but it's constantly in my thoughts and prayers.Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15306602792203116316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-21876857425052999062010-01-20T05:34:01.340-06:002010-01-20T05:34:01.340-06:00God, this is heart rending.

The image of a child being amuptated with a hacksaw, likely without the benefit of any anesthesia beyond a shot of alcohol.. just... my imagination rebels while my eyes fill. I feel so powerless to help, at least monetarily. The best I can offer is positive thoughts and prayers, and try to remember they're not so ineffective as it can feel sometime. I'm joining you and the rest of the world in tears on this one. It's truly tragic... =(Ryan Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944307836865627332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-85110260182751759162010-01-19T18:37:22.204-06:002010-01-19T18:37:22.204-06:00I agree, have to take it in very small doses.

It seems like so little to do, donating a few dollars, but it really is all that is possible right now for many of us. At least with the three organizations you listed we know that the money really is goingt o help these poor people.Tracy DeLucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741412524412723632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-81179898493349750982010-01-19T15:48:07.373-06:002010-01-19T15:48:07.373-06:00Apology not necessary.
