Reach Your True Potential...
Dearest lovelies,
Needless to say, the fires in San Diego are wreaking havoc on many lives. No matter how badly some of us may have it, there are always others less fortunate than ourselves. In the larger scheme of things, our families and loved ones are safe...and a house is just a house; it can, and will, be rebuilt.
On that note...let's help rebuild San Diego and the lives within it.
Since school will not be in session this week, I wanted to see who would be interested in coming to an evacuation site with me and volunteering on Thursday morning at 9:30 am. Please reply and let me know if you can come.
Hope you are all keeping safe - please try to give me an update on how you are doing, if you can!
Thank you!
Elika

Hi Elika,
Could you give me the details where the volunteering will take place. I still have to ask my parents. I live in the Sorrento Valley area so we evacuated to Coronado and just got back today. I finished the vocabulary homework. When is the Huck Finn essay due?
As great the intentions are, they refuse a lot of help. Nathaniel spent about an hour trying to let him help out at Qualcomm, when they turned him away.
Unless you have something orginized with a leader of the evac site, i don't think itll happen.
qualcomm is turning away volunteers because there's too many of them and not enough supplies.
also be aware that the Red Cross has to refuse certain items, such as clothes. If you want to donate, Qualcomm, although the hour+ wait is a bit extreme, is the best place since that's where all the other evacuation centers will be getting it from. They also don't need water, however they need blankets, pillows, games for kids, any sort of shade, etc. keep listening to the news kids.
and when is the Huck Finn essay due?
Hey Will said that earlier in the day- around 10:00 they needed volunteers at qualcomm. It also seemed like they had plenty of essential supplies, but I know they still need things to do(board games cards, musicians to play etc)
hey Elika
so when I was reading your blog and I saw:
