Flood of Damage, Flood of Helping

Flood of Damage, Flood of Helping

         Recently we’ve had several disasters that caused so much damage and flooding has impacted many areas.  But also the influx of helping has been significant, both near and distant.

The massive community support has inspired contributions of the vitally needed resources to aid communities in recovery efforts.  The flood of help is immense on a grand scale, with tremendous outreach.

         Levels of assistance have phenomenal impact and draw people in to be available, sometimes on short notice, but with impeccable timing.  We’re supportive in amazing methods to stand by others as they need so much.

         When we see someone struggling, and lending a hand is something doable, being a helper can lift that person toward a stable point.  The Mom of Mr. Rogers used to comfort his anxiety by saying, “Look for the helpers.” and that was the encouragement he needed.

         If we can be in the Support Group for another, then building up those people or communities would be the fixers in our reach.  A flood can be so hurtful, but in ways could be helpful too.  Assist where/when/how.
