Thousands of lives have been lost, whole communities swept aside in a matter of minutes.  Boats, cars and houses flung aside like toys.

It brings home to us all that our safe, secure day-to-day life can change in a moment.  Everything we work for, stress and worry over gets put into perspective at moments like this.

Do something today to help make some small difference to those in greatest need.
