I am alive and healthy today not just because of the support I received from my daughter, my mother, and other family members, but, because of the support I received from friends, co-workers, local churches, and even some strangers! You can have a similar impact on someone's life in your family, your community, or your local church. There have been some recent natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina (2005) and the recent Hurricane Sandy that have destroyed many lives. But, you can help simply by sharing this web page url on your social media page.
