2. Original Letter:The Karma Truck - a grassroots hurricane relief effortMany of us have family and friends that were affected by Sandy, and many of us want to help. Many of us also have been lucky, successful, and generally blessed in life.We have heard numerous people on the news recounting that things are easily replaced but people are not. That is so true.However, the destruction of one's home is a traumatic event for a family. Like many of you we have gently used items and extra canned goods that are simply taking up space in our home and could be used by a family who has lost everything.We would like your help getting these families some much-needed relief.Our family will be putting up the money to rent a U-haul truck and gas it up for the trip to New York.We are scouring our house for things to donate and put in the truck. We are asking for your help in collecting items. We know that the following items are needed:-Canned Goods / Nonperishable Food-Water (You know you stocked up before Sandy, and don't need it now.)-Blankets-Jackets, Gloves, Hats, Socks (It was in the 70s when Sandy hit but it's getting cold now and these families need warmer clothes.)-Cleaning Supplies (Brooms, Mops, Sponges, Garbage Bags)Right now, we are planning on driving all of the items collected to State Senator Lanza’s collection depot in NYC on November 12th. Please scour your home or head to the store quickly and drop items off at our home by next Friday, November 9th, so we can get it to the Karma Truck in timeIf your place of work could become a hub for donations and you can coordinate dropping it off at our house, that would be much appreciated!You will get no proof of donation as this is not any sort of official charity. This is just one American family, asking others to help fill up a truck with Karma for other Americans in need.What will you put in the Karma Truck?Thanks,
