I am amazed about the caring and the giving from the community. We're not getting 5 and 10 checks but 50, 100, 250. They are just opening up their wallets and that keeps the shelters open and provides food....It's wonderful to see the caring from individuals to help others they don't even know.

Those are the kind of problems that can creep up with a disaster like this.Jenny Lehman
At one point Thursday, we were lined up at the door with people wanting to donate money. We've called in extra volunteers to help answer our phones because they are ringing constantly. It all goes to disaster relief and the need right now is shelter and food. Our shelters will stay open until there is no one there, until their needs are met.

I do believe the shelters are all closed at this time and they are trying to get people back into their homes. But, over 198,000 of the kits have been given out. I believe it's far from being over yet.

In addition, there has been a lot of donations made online and through the 800 number, but that figure is the money that has come directly through our door.

Georg C. Lichtenberg
Americans, particularly after World War II, tended to romanticize war because in World War II our cause was the cause of humanity, and our soldiers brought home glory and victory, and thank God that they did. But it led us to romanticize it to some extent.
Neil Sheehan
It's a matter of reducing the work to its very simplest possible state, eliminating all of the things that lead away from the guts of the work, the thing the work is really about. Anything that's there must build towards its over-all organization and meaning.
