Unfortunately, I can't help feeling as if it is like putting a bandaid on a scratch overlying a broken leg, but at least it's something.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617147322518152988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-86603390578085311492011-03-15T14:51:07.683-07:002011-03-15T14:51:07.683-07:00I was UNLUCKY enough to be watching CNN live while...I was UNLUCKY enough to be watching CNN live while the tsunamis were taking place. I felt stunned by what I saw, mesmerized by the destruction and, of course, powerless to do anything for anyone. I couldn't turn off the television but just kept watching the disaster unfold over agricultural land as people and animals lost their lives and as homes, greenhouses and crops were overwhelmed by the mass of water and debris. I applaud Carrie for finding her way to help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-78572311103159131052011-03-13T18:57:09.221-07:002011-03-13T18:57:09.221-07:00I'm very depressed about this too.

I've donated to the World Vets Foundation who are in the process of organizing a first responders team with supplies right now, but I wish I could do more.Carrie Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433847890991768541noreply@blogger.com
