I know the entire virtual community has been inundated with requests for donations in the aftermath of hurricane sandy. I recognize that this is a trying time for everyone, not just those who lost their homes or loved ones. I have a special request for a longtime good friend of mine, Chris Ostrow. Not to dwell too much on his background, suffice to say he lost both his parents at a young age and had to grow up faster than most kids should. He is doing a spectacular job raising his younger brother and was just managing to stay afloat financially. Unfortunately, Chris and his brother and black lab had to relocate their home after the hurricane hit. They lost their home, and their cars.
I can't imagine what it must be like to not have my mom and dad, (as crazy as they are). I can't imagine not being able to go home to a familiar setting and my own, warm bed. I can't imagine what it must be like to be worried about where to live because most apartments will not take big dogs. A truly hard and nomadic lifestyle is what Chris and his brother are unfortunately used to.
Please, when you are perusing the hundreds of requests for fundraising money, please consider donating any amount to help Chris out. You do not need to know him in order to sympathize with his story. He works full time at a non profit institution and embodies totally the philosophy of giving back to the community. I am a firm believer in the idea that those less fortunate are always the ones to give you the shirts off their back. If anyone needs it now, it's the Ostrows.
Please visit the link below to donate securely. Remember, any amount counts! Thank you and count your blessing everyday!
