I (Lucy) wanted to include an update about our friend Sam.

The aftermath of
Hurricane Irene has been devastating to many people.  One of them being a beloved member our
Collective Media Magic group, Sam, of Have Sippy, Will Travel,  lives in the hardest hit area in hurricane Irene’s path.  Her home was flooded during Irene, causing extensive damage.  All of
her clothing, much of their furniture, her carpeting, her children’s toys and most of their
precious memorabilia was lost during the flood.  

We still don’t know the extent of the damage, we are waiting for the water to recede. Though it looks like they will probably not be able
to save their home as it filled with raw sewage and raging flood waters.  When
we spoke with her yesterday, she realized she had lost items she thought they had
been able to save.  She and her husband have not been able to work during this
time. She is understandably devastated by recent events and is trying to brace herself for the worst.

We would love to help Sam
during this time of crisis.  Her family, including her two children, ages four
and six, will need so much. If anyone would like to help Sam,  we have established a
Help Sam Fund.  All proceeds will be sent directly to her family to take care of
their needs.

If you would like to know how you can help Sam please email “Lucy” for more information at closertolucy@gmail.com.

In the meantime continue to pray for Sam, her family and all the other’s trying to piece it back together. We will keep you updated as much as we can.

Lucy is hopeful that she can sneak this post up on Sam’s page today but if not if shared readers and fellow friends can spread the word we know Sam would be appreciative. 


Much love,
Lucy
