In the midst of disaster, the best of humanity manages to shine above the floods, rubble and despair. I am always impressed by the kindness of friends and neighbors and amazed by the care of strangers. In just a few days, we have begun to rally for those in need after Hurricane Sandy.
The marathoners, facing a cancelled race after months of training, ran through New York to help those in need. My nephew's school sent home a flyer, "Reach the Beach", requesting clothing, food and supplies to be delivered to the Jersey shore this weekend. Folks in my own neighborhood are gathering a list of items for those desperate for basic necessities on Staten Island. I could go on and on.
Once power returns to my house and I get back on track, I want to be part of the shining example of the best of humanity. Hopefully, my children will pitch in too. There are so many ways to help.
