It seems like once or twice a day, school kids are coming into our office bringing in checks. Schools have really come forward. |
Once again our community is showing us the true meaning of caring and taking care of a neighbor, a friend, be they on the same street or be they somewhere else in our country. |

That's the worst thing that can happen. |
There were some nice financial opportunities for us moving to the wedge. But it's a very fluid process. I don't view it as a closed episode. |
There's an additional 50 families coming in to Palm Beach County every day from the storm-ravaged areas, and we're caring for them. We may need to open up three or four more shelters in the area. |
This is different in so many ways. |
We are opening more and more shelters every day, where in the past shelters were closed day by day. |
