Bridging the Empathy Gap - Ideas for Change in America

I feel all you have to do is to look around your neighborhood, your community, your city. There are people hurting everywhere. Lost jobs, not enough money to put food on their families' tables; losing their homes. I try and put myself in the other person's place (I personally have friends who have lost their jobs) who live right next door. I think anything you can do such as work in a soup kitchen, donate to a food bank, help your neighbors in whatever way they need help; let others know you care and are concerned. I think any of these steps will go a long way toward helping our friends, neighbors and country get through these trying times! - by Gayle Gottsche
