Kim,

What a compassionate person you are, forgive me for perhaps crossing a boundary here, but I had to say it. How concrete your assistance too, in finding this lady's and many others' families.

Boxes are on their way, and here in Portland, OR we are welcoming approx 1000 survivors. The art materials idea is a good one, since the organizing is just beginning here, that's one thing I can facilitate.

Kim, what you said about the person-to-person contact moved me, because when all is said and done, all we really have is each other's touch. Even if that "touching" is an, "I see you, and you matter." I know I'm getting "mushy" now so I'll end.

Fondly, Magdalena
