Helpers
A quote from Fred Rogers
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.

It’s good to be reminded that help is all around us and to ask when help is needed.
Helpers are everywhere. Such an incredible post .It made me think that in life too we have helpers.
