Humanity comes to the fore when tragedy strikes. Even the lowest amongst us can rise to the occasion when called up from within! May God Bless them and all of the others who move towards the disaster rather than away. I also pray that this gives them a second chance and that they WORK to take it!

“Homeless does not mean worthless.”
No doubt in my mind, these two homeless men have treasures in heaven waiting for them..
