Getting to meet people down there was my favorite part. I was able to help people carry groceries to and from the store or take care of children. That was one of the blessings I received.

They were normal everyday people. I was humbled by their strength, even though probably none of them would say they are strong. They are living there and going to work everyday while having to clean up their lives.

The whole area was devastated. That was the most intense part for me. Entire communities were just ripped apart and I couldn't believe it.

It was a classic grand mal seizure. We're all guinea pigs of vaccines.

Snowboarding is an expensive sport. Any help you can get with that is useful.

Several of you will be asked to help.
