There are still many who need our love and support

Outpouring Of 9/11 Financial Support Slowed In A Few Months.

The attacks changed the way we travel, whether by air or public transportation, but also forged a feeling of unity and nationalism in the days and weeks after.
Almost no one was donating via the Internet in 2001. People were barely Googling, much less donating by text. Social network? That was called your Rolodex. Cell phones were starting to become prevalent, but the average person probably thought a “smart phone” was a potential joke punchline.
Approximately 59,000 families were affected in various ways, whether they lost loved ones in the attacks, were displaced from their homes, or had their livelihoods affected.
David Paine and Jay Winuk originally created this blog, to help raise funds and support charities that were struggling in the wake of the response to the attacks.
I personally recall a deep concern for my family, friends and associates as events dramatically unfolded that morning. And I still feel genuine sadness a decade later for all of the people that died and the families that were forever affected. It was a day that we all will never forget.
