Like you, I kept up with their story during the time they were trapped, and anxiously watched as each one was lifted to safety, breathing a sigh of relief as each one emerged. I also remember feeling SO PROUD that humanity has members like the guy who was the first one to go down the shaft to get to the miners. What courage!!!

Like you, as well, I hope that things turn around for them and their quality of life improves.
