Many of us woke to the news yesterday of the death of 19 heros. 19 firefighters gave their lives protecting a town from a wildfire. Almost the entire hotshot (specialist firefighteres) team from Prescott, Arizona perished when they were overtaken by the flames. Only one member of the crew survived. He was on a lookout a mile a way so managed not to get caught.
Our prayers are with the families of those lost and with all of those affected by the fire.
I thought about doing a special addition to the Quilt Block challenge for donations to families. I had to restrain myself though. As I posted previously, there are a lot of worthy organizations. If I lose focus, a lot of organizations will get a lot of $10 donations. But the idea is to make an impact. So a lot of $10 donations to a few organizations is more of an impact than a few $10 donations to a lot of organizations.
It was a hard decision to make. But focus and discipline is important when trying to change the world. Come change it with me. Make a donation today.
