    Hello all,
    I was wondering, what can I do as an individual to help the people in NY and DC. I can't donate blood because I have leukemia. I can't go to NYC to try and help because I'm not able to travel now due to undergoing chemo. My partner Kevin was thinking about going to NY with members of his union but he didn't go because he didn't want to leave me alone. We made a monetary donation to the Red Cross and we have our flag flying outside the house, but it just doesn't feel like it's enough. I don't know if anything we could do would really be "enough". We spent Tuesday by the phone because Kevins stepbrother works in the Amex building and he is ok. After that I went with Kev so that he could donate blood and at least I could be there to support him, since he is major needle phobic and this was the first time he's ever donated. It's just that as I have sat here and watched the events of the last few days I just feel like I need to do something to help, but I can't figure out what. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Peace and love to you and yours,
    Jon

    I know you don't believe in God (so prayer is out) - but honestly, the only thing I can thing of is show love for your fellow Americans - no matter what thier race is. Sometimes the best thing you CAN do is care. Show love and support mentally in this crisis. Be nice to they guy getting in line or nice to the lady who wants to pull out in heavy traffic. Although, jonjon - i am sure you do that already. You have a tender heart and I think a lot of you.

    P.S. - those of you who do believe in a higher power - pray for those who are hurt by this, pray they have strength to go on.

    Check out the thread "A Practical Idea" - for a practical idea you may - or may not - agree with.

    At least it's worth tossing around.
