My clients are struggling with a lot of the same issues I am right now. Except in some ways their sense of helplessness is worse. I keep hearing again and again: "I can't even donate blood."[1] One said to me, "I'd go [in the army] in a minute. I've got this virus - I'm expendable. But they wouldn't take me." And most of them don't even have any extra money they could donate. It's hard.


[1] I mostly work with people who have HIV or cancer.

ways to help

check out http://www.dc-cares.org/Volunteer/EmergencyHelp.htm

it lists some traditional things for people to do to help, and a lot of non-traditional things (like send sympathy cards to the families). i don't know a lot about your clients, but i think they might be able to find some things that they could do on there.
