Brad is headed over to Kelly USA this afternoon to help set up cots, get food organized, whatever. People are already arriving. I wish so much I could help, but that seems kind of pointless. What would I do with the kids? Another moment when I really wish we had some extended family handy. We've been talking about it and we are going to be offering our spare room, hopefully to a couple or a single mom with kids, if it is needed. I figure it may not be needed yet, but in a few weeks as these people recover from shock and want to start their lives over again, it might be needed. I don't know. I'm not sure where to offer though. Those who need it the most aren't going to be looking on craigslist and no organization is taking this kind of offer yet. Seems like the best way will be locally. Hopefully, Brad can feel out the situation and come back with some ideas. It feels so close now. Right in our backyard, there are refugees. In America. In Texas. It is crazy.
