While watching CNN I saw a segment on one of the people being helped by
"Students Rising Above"
though this is located in the Oakland California area,
it would be great if communities could do something like this for there own.
Many people are visited by hardships and many times the
Communities of the North Coast have come to help those in need.
My heart goes out for those that need the help and those who offer help! Thanks!
Birds and other wild creatures can come to need
our help. The Wildlife Rehab Center of the North Coast
"provides compassion empathy and respect
for all life through wildlife rehabilitation
and ecological teachings". This organization relies
totally on contributions from concerned people
and organizations, all money goes to the animals
and their care. They definitely need your help
for this valuable service. Sharnel Fee cares
for hurt creatures and also teaches and
provides information so others can become
informed of the problems we create for
these creatures.
Another way to really help cure Cancer and other diseases is

All this cost you is the power to run the computer, which is probably running anyway.

It is hard to control yourselves as the world seems to come apart,
but remember you are important, worthy, and of value to many.
Help can be found!
