There are a lot of families and people that are struggling right now, some reaching out for help, but many others not.
They are innocent victims during this coronavirus crisis, and especially our most vulnerable-our children.
Child abuse and domestic violence is soaring during this time, and if you are someone you know is in a position to help, please do so. It's not always reported on the news, but there is a lot of suffering going on right now behind closed doors. We are all a community, and during times of desperate need is when someone's real character and strength shines through. It is so good to see those that are able to help right now help out. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Well said and yes we can all help in many ways. Fo one, we need to be there for each other when people start getting stressed. That will help with some of the people snapping and acting in ways they may not normally act. Another way is to order as much of our meals as we can from local restaurants who are doing their best to change their business from a dine in to a dine out or delivery service. Let's help them stay in business. I am receiving calls from restaurants reaching out, trying to reinvent their business during these challenging times.

Amazing how that happens....


Back on topic, my wife and I donated about 30 pounds of fabric to different local groups of women who sew and are making masks for hospitals, first responders, etc.
