The Meaning of Christmas

http://aebrain.blogspot.com/2011/11/meaning-of-christmas.htmlFrom a mailing list I'm on.
In the last 24-36 hours, I've seen our community come together from different parts of the world to help one of our own, and I am truly thankful.
Long story short, an 18 year old trans girl, kicked out by her parents, was unsafe and on the streets of a small town in Kentucky. No food, no money, no phone, no friends. She was able to borrow a computer long enough to contact me through email, and what I can only call a blessing began to unfold.
Through the power of Facebook and online networking, people from all over, including the UK & Mexico, came together to get this young gal onto a Greyhound bus, and enough food & beverages at various bus stops along the way to make it through to Phoenix where she will arrive in the early morning hours tonight to live at H.O.P.E. House.
