“When I was a boy and I would see scary things
in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will
always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times
of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by
realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people
in this world.” - Mister Rogers
