I am also currently trying to organize my mom's school (since I don't have my own school) to organize some kind of fundraiser like they did for the tsunami victims. The classroom teachers don't have time to add something else as school just started yesterday. This helps me since I am unable to donate monetarily. Kids are very compassionate. We should all see the world through the eyes of a child.
I live in Florida. I keep thinking this could be me at anytime.
I hope compassion for human life will prevail.
