I don't think my husband will ever understand why I do this to myself several times a day.

I am so greatful to have a husband like i do! I just was watching it EVERYDAY and reloading this forum over and over, he says "hunny lets go do something about it?". So we went and spent 200 and dropped supplies off. It felt good knowing I could do so for many reasons.
1) i have family that gambles HARD. For me to be able to spend the amount they do helping someone rather then throwing it into a machine felt good.
2) I have 5 kids who at times think life revolves around them and they need to have ALL the up to date electronics, clothes and so on.. so I was able to say " guess what? we aint going shopping today. we aint going to get your nails done. Today will not be about you! it will be about helping others!" Hopefully teach my kids a good lesson.
3) My 13 yr old thinks its okay to be out after dark. (even though we all know the "kidnapping" didnt happen, i was able to ask "do you think your indestructible now after seeing the amount of police presence it takes to find one little lovely baby?" Granted I live outside Jacksonville, in a beautiful area, Jacksonville is dangerous and scary in my opinion. Scary for adults let alone kids.
4) Seeing these police and dogs searching SO hard, i thought my goodness I have the ability to help in some way, why not do it?
For those who dont live in the area or do not have direct ways of helping.. PRAYERS are helping! We all know them are key. Dont for a second think you are doing nothing.
