Several families that work at our plant in the Dominican Republic have lost their homes due to the flooding from Noel. Most of us in the United States are blessed to be able to replace most material things without too much effort. When you make $2/hour and have no insurance this loss must seem overwhelming.
I will be travelling to this plant the week after Thanksgiving, and rather than making a monetary contribution (like many of my fellow employees will) I hope to take a few small quilts. Maybe the bright fabric will bring a smile to the face of a child in what must be such a scary time.
