IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT DISASTER IN NEW YORK,I HAVE STARTED UP A FUND FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS.THIS WILL BE A VERY HARD CHRISTMAS SEASON FOR THEM,MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM ALL,I DECIDED TO MAKE A TRIP TO NEW YORK ON DEC.26,2001.EVERY BIT OF THE MONEY I RAISE WILL BE GOING TOWARDS THIS FUND.MY NAME IS SEAN MARKEL,I AM A FATHER OF 4 AND IM ALSO A PARAMEDIC IN THE CITY OF HAMPTON,V.A. BEING A FATHER MYSELF,I COULDNT POSSIBLY KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO LOSE SUCH A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE FAMILY.IN ORDER TO TRY AND RELIEVE SOME OF THE FAMILIES,DURING THIS HOLIDAY,I HAVE SET UP THIS FUND,"WHICH WAS MY 6 YEAR OLDS IDEA".I HAVE ALREADY RAISED $1200.00,AND STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO.IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO THIS CAUSE,ANY AMOUNT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
