Making a Difference
There
are many ways to make a difference in the wake of a tragedy
like the one on September 11th, 2001. Donating time
and money are always good, but sometimes donating a thought
is just as important. Below are a few ways that you can make
a difference in someone’s life by simply taking a few
minutes out of your day and writing a letter.
