A wonderful story Ralph, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, brought a tear to my eye!
There are truly some good people out there

Which goes to show..... true giving comes from the heart and not from the mind or pocket...... no thoughts of anything in return but the thought you brought happiness to someone .....

In case anyone is interested, there are other volunteer groups that restore fire or flood damaged family photos, e.g.,

First time I see a site like this.

No harm in volunteering..... use our skills for a good cause.

What say, everyone?

Just signed up. Not sure if my lack of skills will be up to the mark but hopefully it will encourage me to learn more about photo restoration and help people along the way.

No harm in learn as you go.

There are 3 levels of work to choose from. Start with EASY tasks... and work your way to the 2 higher levels as you progress in skill.

These are beautiful and generous images made to comfort the dad. No doubt, the reality will soon mirror this altered reality.

Thanks for sharing Hawkeye.

Absolutely! I did a few for Operation Photo Rescue a few years ago. I plan to get back into it when things slow down here.

I volunteered some time ago, right after Katrina. It was so touching to do this kind of thing for people who had nothing left but some damaged photographs.

I need to get back into that....

 

[IamSam]

I will sign up as well. This is a a great cause. I wish I had known of this sooner. Thanks again Hawk and TomM.

Freebies are good

Coincidentally I just received in my email a solicitation for help from an organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. Honestly, I looked at the front page and just lost it - tears streaming down my face. I want to help these folks but as a parent I'm just not sure I can do it.

If anyone else can help and wants to here's the link. https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/

If it makes you feel any better, Sierra, for exactly the same reason as you, I couldn't bring myself to help out this organization, either. That's why I went with Operation Photo Rescue for their work restoring fire and flood damaged photos. I've shot a fair number of shots of deceased adults in my career, including some at the request of the families of the deceased, but I didn't think I could hold up for dead babies and their families.

That was a very touching story. My heart went out to those parents.

I think it is pretty amazing at what people will do to help complete strangers. Keep up the great work everyone.
