Thought I�d share an example of a community pulling together in a time of need.
A couple of things really struck me about this, similarities that really hit home for me.
This was a young man who�s career and love of the sea kept him separated from his family for extended periods of time, the sole provider for his wife and two young children. The childhood friend of a co-worker, who was hit really hard by this.
Another thing that struck me was the original �goal�, and the current amount raised. Trident Seafoods has committed to matching the funds raised 3:1. Again, showing what a tight community the fishing industry (as with many others) is.
I spend a considerable amount of time each year away from my wife and kids, doing what I can to support them. I also spend hundreds of hours a year on the ocean, granted in a much more controlled environment. Thinking about how my family would support itself if I were to ever have a life ending event (or even life changing event that prevented me from working) can be a scary thought.
Anyways, just thought I�d share; and yes I am also posting this to get a bit more visibility in hopes that someone else may be in a position to make even a small donation.
