Dear LEGO,
Like many others, I can't seem to tear away from CNN lately, watching the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. One of the images I just saw was of hundreds of
people standing in line, many of them children, with the narrator describing how
tired, cranky, and bored the kids were. Most of them have nothing to cheer them
up or keep them busy, and the prospects for the future are not wonderful. One
little boy (maybe 5 years old) had a toy orca, but that was the extent of the
toys I saw.
I don't know if this is something that would be logistically possible or even
welcome, but I can't help but think that a truckload or two of LEGO sets dropped
off at the Houston Astrodome would go a long ways towards keeping thousands of
kids occupied, and it might help boost morale during a very desperate time in
many peoples' lives.
Sincerely,
Kelly McKiernan
Parent and LEGO Ambassador
