Hurricane Matthew has been a major concern lately for all of those who live on the coast. It has been all over the news and social media. However, there is one thing that we can learn from it.
The country we live in is equipped to handle disasters like this, but others are not so lucky. This same hurricane hit Haiti and the results in the United States will be very different than what they are facing. We have to be thankful for where we live, yet we cannot forget about those who are less fortunate.
The country we live in has the ability to help those who are affected by natural disasters. These people not only receive help from the government, but they also receive help from other people and organizations who have the means to help, such as churches and volunteers. Other countries are not so fortunate to have a government that has a means to help them and other citizens who have the resources to help as well. Many people in these countries are on their own.
Because we are so fortunate here, we cannot forget those who are not so fortunate. The very least we should be able to do is donate money or food so they can be sent to aid the areas who do not have the means to recover from these disasters. We could even send volunteer who can afford to help people recover.
People forget about how lucky they are to live somewhere that has the resources necessary to come to their aid. Yet those of us who do not live in these disaster zones cannot forget about the parts of the country that are suffering.
