Losing Your Family...

I read this story last night. I wanted to share this with you. A 13 year old boy lost his parents in the Mumbai attack who is in the Mumbai JJ Hospital. He also lost his uncles and three cousins. I was thinking about how difficult it is to lose your family...makes me so sad....

"As the boy, 13, looks up from his Mumbai hospital bed, his adult brother rests his hand on the boy's forehead, almost shielding him from the pain he does not yet know -- much of his family was killed in Wednesday's terrorist attacks....."

We also got responses from several people in Mumbai who are with different organizations that work with the kids of Mumbai. We are interacting with them and trying to develop a good plan to spend the funds we are raising. We need your help in spreading the word and raising funds.
