(39,215 posts)was the thing that really helped us turn the page here. And my family do try to help others when we find someone who can be helped. We even send money to a young boy in Tanzania. He is so very poor but he is going to school and he is lucky enough that his mother works at the school and they get to live there along with his grandmother.
Anyhow that is pretty much why I asked what things we could do. I was thinking about lobbying for some bill. My granddaughter just informed me that she is working to have the government regulate treatment centers on the reservation better than they do now - I am going to lobby for that. She works on President Obama's advisory committee for Indian Health and went to all the reservations to teach them how to use the ACA.
We are really a very involved family. It just comes naturally. My dad was a fantastic man who cared about everyone.
