Save the Children’s ‘Disaster Decade’ Report Reveals Government Unprepared to Protect Children During Disasters. Is Your State Prepared?
From 9/11 through Katrina, Rita, Ike, the Wildfires and the Great Recession, children's unique needs during disasters were largely ignored. Amazingly enough, these inadequacies have still not been addressed by most states. According to Save the Children's new report "The Disaster Decade: Lessons Unlearned for the United States," only 7 out of 50 states meet the minimum disaster preparedness standards when it comes to protecting children during disasters.

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages...

Six years ago, Sonia Ramos was diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy, a disease that ravaged her kidneys, destroyed her health, and is endangering her life.
Who is Sonia Ramos? Sonia is a young single mom whose 2½ year old daughter, Madison, doesn't want to lose her. We don't want to lose her. Can you help?
Can I be a donor? To donate a kidney, you must be in good health and have two normal, healthy kidneys of your own. It is also recommended that you be a non-smoker to get the best results both for you and Sonia. If you meet these basic criteria, the doctors will test you for blood and tissue compatibility as well as evaluate your general physical and psychological health. If you turn out to be a good match, you'll get information and counseling to prepare you for the operation and recovery.
For a more complete idea of what's necessary, GO TO THE National Kidney Foundation WEBSITE
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD AND FIND A DONOR FOR SONIA.
