Do not sit and watch it unravel like we did helplessly with Katrina- do something.

How do I begin to share with you about what i am experiencing right now Sunday Nov. 4th- 3 war ships are sitting just offshore and chinook helicopters are buzzing above me as 20 blocks to my south gangs walk the streets in the dark searching for gas and food. I am walking back through the gates of hell in streets filled with discarded life long possessions and mothers begging me for insulin for their children - 17 miles of no power /water and churches and houses burned to the ground with steps leading to nowhere....you would think I was in Haiti but I'm in The United States of America- in Rockaway Queens in one of the most complicated disasters I've ever seen. Communications are down and I'm the only medic on this site tonight till back up comes tomorrow. This disaster is too big for aid groups and Gov'ts to do alone- its just too big - everyone is needed to reach outside of themselves to help. Do not sit and watch it unravel like we did helplessly with Katrina- do something. Rise up volunteers of America!!
Two correction officers just showed up to help thank you! The big storm hits us on Wednesday- pray -even if u don't believe in anything! Hedge your bets!
