For What It’s Worth by Dr. Melfi , Ph.D.
The past week has been fraught with misery across the globe… the Afghanistan situation, and the worry of those le behind. California burning. Major ooding in Tennessee. Hurricane Ida and its decimation of Louisiana and Mississippi, ooding days later as hurricane Ida made its way up the east coast and killed at least 45 innocent people by drowning. It is nearly impossible to grasp what is happening, and the sadness that permeates the globe as people are displaced, hungry, thirsty, hot, and exhausted, and while all this is occurring, the pandemic rages on. Hospitals are over owing, people that have medical issues are afraid to go to the emergency rooms, those that do go, have to wait hours to be seen because of Covid emergencies. Some hospitals have turned patients away. As if this wasn’t enough, the country is divided, kids fighting kids, adults fighting adults, teachers dying, to mask or not to mask, to get the vaccine or hope for the best. These are unprecedented times, scary times, and really, really sad times. It is as if the bottom has fallen out, and nothing can be put back together. Climate change threatens to change the world, massive storms are predicted to become the norm, and yet, we are all trying to continue walking forward, one foot in front of the other, because, what else can we do?
ere are so many people in need, and so many funds that need money. At least in Florida we are somewhat prepared for storms of this magnitude. We understand that we have to have supplies of food and water on hand, we ll up our gas tanks and gas cans, we check our generators, and check our supply of plywood or hurricane shutters. Most of us in ood zones know the importance of having ood insurance. at is not the norm in New York or New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Maryland, and certainly not a city such as Philadelphia. I grew up in New Jersey, and while I was young, we lived in a basement apartment in Elizabeth. If I lived there now, it is likely my entire family might have drowned. I shutter to think of what could have happened, and I shutter to imagine what has happened to people just trying to save money, buy a house, raise a family, and do the best they can. en this. e unimaginable. e horror of it all. Cars submerged, houses demolished, furniture and memorabilia ruined. I don’t know what we can do, or should do. I donated some money, certainly not enough, to the Red Cross, but that is a drop in the bucket. I wish someone would come on television and tell us where we can drop o clothing, shoes, baby items, hygiene items, food, and water. I would gladly pack up my entire pantry if it would help, because at times like these, we should be on our knees in gratitude that we are not hungry or homeless.
For What it’s Worth, if we
could all do one thing, give one dollar, send one prayer, it wouldn’t solve the problems, but it would make a di erence to some child, some family, and most of all, to ourselves. We are innately a kind and generous species, and now is the time to dig deep and do what you can to help.
