Cards of caring for Newtown

This was posted on FB by our local cable news channel:

NEWTOWN, CT — The U.S. Postal Service has established a unique Post Office Box to allow the public to send condolences to those affected by the tragedy in Newtown CT last week.

Those who wish to send expressions of comfort should address them to:

Messages of Condolence for Newtown
PO Box 3700
Newtown CT 06470

I felt depressed and powerless watching the tragic events this weekend and then I thought what if each of us donated a toy or a coat or groceries (whatever we could) in the name of one of the victims who lost their lives. It's just a small gesture but it was something in my power to do from 3000 miles away:

I hope others will consider doing the same.

My sister posted something in FB yesterday about doing 26 acts of kindness, one for each life taken. I laughed and told her that I try to do one everyday ANYWAY. I only live 20 miles away and even *I* can't think of what to do to help anyone. It's such a horror.

I DID read that the elementary school will, most likely, NOT be opening again, ever, and that their new schoolroomsl would probably be in need of a lot of school supplies to get going. Maybe send a Staples gift card to the address above?
