In this time of devastation, the worst thing is the helplesness I know I'm feeling ... and suspect others are as well. We sit clustered around our televisions, radios and PCs ... clutching at those bits and pieces of information in a genuine attempt to feel more "connected." I turned off my television last night. I picked up the phone and called the administrator of a feline rescue organization I volunteer for ... CatNetwork. I asked the head administrator if there was anything we could do. She said there was. Though we "do cats", we're also connected to most every other animal program here in Missouri quite closely. She gave me a list of numbers to call, instructing me to offer what financial assistance we could to help the victims in NYC. An hour and a half later, we had located four trained dogs from Missouri Canine Search & Rescue. We arranged the transfer of funds, which as it turned out, enabled them & their handlers to leave for New York City early this morning. The realist in me knows this small gesture may well turn out to be futile. But at least I know that I've helped to do something.
