I was on my to work and i just couldn't believe what i was hearing. I thought i still in my morning sleep mode. By the time i got to work, it was pretty chaotic. All of my co-workers had their radios on and were checking the web for more information. I was just numb that day and for a week just cried for us all. Then, when they were asking for help in any for possible my partner and i figured we had to do something. I couldn't think of anything for a few days. Then it hit me, we started a drive for supplies for the rescue dogs at our workplace. We collected bowls, eyewash, booties for the dogs feet, brushes, treats, and ended up sending three boxes of supplies weighing in at about 75lbs total. the delivery service waived the shipping fee and sent them all at no cost. It was our way to lend a hand even if we couldn't be in NY. thanks, toni and jennifer mitchell.
