I thought long and hard on this, and I've come to the decision to inform you all and ask of you a huge favor. Below you will see a collage of my hometown, Bucyrus OH, and yes, it's underwater. I know a lot of people who are homeless and lost all of their possessions in the flash flooding that occurred here. The very sad part is that being in the northwest, very few people spend the money to acquire flood insurance, unless of course they live in a flood plain. We have not gotten this much rain (over 9 inches in less than 24 hours) in 38 years. That's more years than I've been alive!! So, in order to help these people, I'm asking for donations through my blog. If you find your way here, and download a kit or two, I'm begging of you to please take the time to donate a bit to these people in need. I've spoken with my pastor about it, and to my sister, who is a city employee, and the funds I collect will be anonymously donated to the various charitible groups who are assisting these poor victims.
I appreciate all of you reading this, even if you cannot afford to help.
Thank you so much for your time!!
