At the beginning of August 2014 I was vacationing with my parents at the happiest place on Earth. A few days after we left Hurricane Charley slammed into Florida with a vengeance. My best friend was living in Orlando at the time and attending college to pursue her dreams. Watching the news and seeing what was happening in Florida I was concerned for her and the rest of the residents. After the hurricane was finished it was time to rebuild, and that is when the American Red Cross was there doing whatever they could to help those affected by this disaster. My friend and everyone else that needed help received amazing care from the team of volunteers. The workers worked around the clock to provide food, water, cleaning supplies, emotional support, shelter, and even financial help to those who required it. Their selfless acts and the care and concern that they The American Red Cross show to others, is why I support them.
It is a really sobering thought to know that in an instant everything you see around you could be gone. Most of us won't go through something so devastating in our lifetime but there is always that possibility. When I think about all that, I want to throw everything I cherish into a bullet/water/fire/disaster proof bubble and hide! Then I think what do I want to protect the most? My children are first and foremost, hands down no question. Sorry honey but you can protect yourself right? I would also want my pets and certain valuables protected 100%. These are the things that have to go in my bubble.
But that isn't real so what's the next best thing to an imaginary super bubble?
