Made follow up calls today, all NPOs whom I have contacted in the past. Did not reach anyone, left messages.
bzm, special thanks to all of you who said prayers last night (or this morning) there are a lot of people out there who do not have hope. You are right, to not have hope is not to have life. I can not get that word "hope" off my mind. Special thanks to that wonderful woman brought it to my attention yesterday and whom has made it her life's career to return hope to those lives whom have lost it. She is truly on the right path.

Tom, for You:
Hope World Wide, www.hopeww.org/
From website http://www.poetseers.org:
The Breath of New Hope
Day and night I shall swim
In the sweetness – hope – river.
May my mind every morning become
As beautiful as hope – dawn – rays
Peace begins
When expectation ends.
Each sacred hope
Is a blessingful gift
From Heaven’s heart.
Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory.

The Four Candles, Author Unknown
The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their Ambiance was so soft you
could hear them speak...
The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody
wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly
diminishes and goes out completely.
The second candle says, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am
no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly
diminishes and goes out completely.
Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the
strength to stay lit any longer."
"People put me aside and don't understand my
importance. They even forget to love those who are
nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love goes out
completely.
Suddenly...A child enters the room and sees the three
candles no longer burning. The child begins to cry, "Why
are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the
end."
Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy,
"Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we
can re-light the other candles."
With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and
lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life.
With Hope, no matter how bad things look and
are...Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.
