Hope Born of Suffering
(Disaster Quilt)

I met Molly in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, in the days between Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. She was one of the survivors I had come to help.

Then Hurricane Rita came and added ruin on top of ruin. Those of us with the ability to receive sporadic news from the outside world also heard about the devastation of the Pakistan earthquake. It seemed the world was coming to an end.

In spite of the endless devastation, Molly saw the chance to reaffirm that the world is good rather than sit around and complain.

From ruined clothing she pieced together a Disaster Quilt to send to Pakistan as a simple gift with love from our disaster to their disaster.
