What Must Be Done
Let me attempt to explain my thought process in more detail. Thousands of Americans are willing to open their houses, apartments, and condos to complete strangers. Many more Americans want to help in other ways. Well here is your chance. We don’t have to, nor should we be powerless.
I’m not a dreamer, my glass is usually half empty, not half full. In situations like this America wants to help. But as days and weeks go by our memory fades, we go back to the "rat race" that is our day-to-day lives. We forget that burning desire we had just a few days or weeks ago.
Well I want to capture that intense desire before it fades.
Get the word out to anyone and everyone you know that wants to help. Tell them for a few hours they can help to move a family from Baton Rouge to Vicksburg. From Memphis to St. Louis. From Nashville to Louisville. And as each city connects to another we move people closer to a place where they can sleep in a home.
Leave me comments with more information. Thoughts. Suggestions. Next steps.
Footnote: There are MANY issues I still don’t understand, and with your help we can work through them here. I am still getting my mind around them all, so look to a future post tomorrow after I can speak with a few government agencies.
One response so far
The Dream Foundation is responding to the needs of hospices in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama by setting up a designated frequent flyer miles fund. Partnering with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, as well as Odyssey HealthCare, the Dream Foundation will use the donated miles to reunite hospice families and fly volunteer caregivers to impacted cities. Dream Foundation (www.dreamfoundation.org) is the first and only organization that grants final
wishes to adults.
