do to help the displaced families.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We found a way to help relatively quickly, and we were able to put a roof over their head and give them some comfort and hope to those who have lost everything through no fault of their own.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In situations where people are fighting for survival, losing their homes or their loved ones, you become even more aware of the privileged
