Micah called today. He is beside himself. He said the local shopping mart is closing today. He said he is really worried about his comrades getting what they need. He said the military is supposed to be suppling them a way to get personal items at a military PX (post exchange) price. He doesn't understand why they would close it and he is fearful that he and his comrades will need to go on the outside (in the town) to purchase their toiletries at a ridiculous price. I told him about all the items my neighbors have already donated and that there will be plenty for him and several of his comrades to share. But, they will be there a year and they desperately need help.
I will be enclosing in this email desperate items they need on a monthly basis as well as his address.
