Today I went to the American Bank Center to help volunteer for the hurricane victims and it was just so amazing. These people have been through soo much and they still have hope and they are being positive. We asked them what they needed and they said they had everything they needed. I was watching 3 girls while their mother was taking a shower and after awhile the girls who were 4 and younger noticed that their mom wasn't there and they started crying and they kept saying they had to go look for her. They didn't get it that she was coming back. Everyone was traumatized from it but if someone gave them something they'd be soo grateful and say thank you. It was really just encouraging. This past week I've been thinking about my problems and now I don't even remember them. My problems don't compare to theirs. And they aren't even complaining they are just happy to have some place to stay. I want to go back and help them. I really enjoyed just playing with the kids :)
