“I believe it made a greater impact on them as they realized that these people had truly lost everything, including the basic essentials of food and water.”

The devastation on the Gulf Coast trained the spotlight on charitable giving and convinced millions of kids to pitch in and help.
Like many of you, over the past few weeks I’ve read dozens of stories about kids holding garage sales or selling cookies, candy and lemonade to raise money for hurricane relief. They’ve donated old clothes or toys buried in the closet, and loaded trucks to the rafters with food and water. Their compassion has been amazing."
