Donate today and help the victims of Hurricane Sandy

Dear Bare Feet™ Fans,

I would first like to send out my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to our entire community affected by Hurricane Sandy. As a New Yorker, we were hit especially hard in the tri-state area and fell to complete shock by the magnitude of this storm. I do hope everyone is safe and well, but the road to recovery will be a long and arduous one. We can all do our part to help by volunteering and donating food, clothing, time, and money to those who have lost everything by this storm. Please consider donating to the American Red Cross - every little bit counts.

An especially dire request goes out on behalf of those on the coast of New Jersey, out in Long Island, and in Staten Island. These families most affected are the most in need of the basics like food, shelter, and water, and let's hope that their lives will soon be on their way back to normal, especially with the holidays just around the corner.

Thank you for your help!

-Mickela Mallozzi
