Blog #6 What did you do after Hurricane Sandy?

Hi cadets and I hope that all of you OK after Hurricane Sandy.
My house is still standing and with water damage to the
basement. I had inclusive wind and water damage to my first
floor but will be alright.  This blog to so demonstrate your
caring and compassion and to highlight what you did to help
your community after the hurricane.  I went out to Belle Harbor
and help neighbors clear out their flooded basements, garages,
and cars.  I also passed out food and water to those that needed
support.



Post what actions you took to help your neighbors and I hope
that each and every one of you are thankful for what you still
have. I know that I count my blessing daily.  Comment on
other cadet's work and post stories about helping others in
your community from videos or news feeds.  Good luck and
I look forward to seeing your work.

  2. Cadet Gonzalez and I have gone around the neighborhood and have collected cans for those in need in this Thanks Giving. Do to the fact that hurricane Sandy have destroy houses, cars, and most important lives that can not be replaceable. We felt that was important to go out there help out with the community since there was going to be more people in line in this Thanks Giving. I hope people can recognize there is people out there that their lives are destroy and we could always do something for them.

  3. This is an emotional video. It is unimaginable what people in Rockaway Beach have been through; 9/11, plane crash, and now Hurricane Sandy. No people should ever even face one of these incidents. Although all these incidents occurred, it is amazing to see how the community acted as a family. The spirit that they have will bring the pieces back together. Living in Brooklyn, I was not affected a lot by Hurricane Sandy, and I am grateful for that. I pray that all those who were affected to recover from their loss and to live happily and safely.

  4. Well After the Hurricane Sandy, Cadet Incle, Guzman, Mojica, Alvarez and I went around our school's neighborhood collecting can foods, we asked them if they would like to donate can foods for the Hurricane Sandy relief. Some of the people donated money. I also donated few of my clothes to Salvation Army.

  11. I wasnt able to collect cans for Thanksgiving. But, i was able to collect some of my old clothes and donating to my local church. Its not a church i attend, but they had a relief fund and were excepting donations. I was able to help out for a couple of hours. helping them bag food and putting it into boxes so it could be delivered to victims in Staten Island. I was only able to help a few hours. I got a sense of satisfaction. I felt like i could have done more but i helped out at least a bit.

  14. After the hurricane, I tried somehow to find a way to help those in needs,since fortunately my family wasn't affected from the hurricane. I tried to donate clothes and donate cash so i could contribute somehow to the victims. Due to my busy schedule, I was unable to actually go to those in need and help them in every possible way that i could. In that way I would actually felt much better knowing that i helped in a way.

  16. After Hurricane Sandy i went all throught Brooklyn and Coney Island and saw all the damage Sandy did to New York. after the hurricane i went to my summer house in long island to check the damage, there was 2 feet of water in the house. she destroyed my screen room to my house and all the floors inside the house, the floors buckled. after i cleaned and fixed as much as i can i walked up the street there was a boat in the middle of the street the people who live by where the boat said that the boat came from a place 5 miles away i thought that was crazy but that also made me reallize that other peolpe must of had it alot worse then us.

  17. Fortunately, my family and I were not affected by the hurricane. It's sad to see a lot of people lose everything they have, especially items that were important to them. My brother and I donated clothing to the a relief organization for the victims of hurricane sandy. We also helped clean out a local park

  18. My family and I were not affected by Hurricane Sandy but my aunt was her basement and first floor was water damage. I went from door to door asking people for cans. Most of the people said they donated to there church or they couldn't donate. We got not only cans but breed and pudding too. It was a group of 6 people asking for donations we also got money donations.
