BOSTON, MA, January 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) It goes without saying the Haiti Earthquake will be remembered as one of this planetâEUR s most devastating natural disasters. With over 230,000 losing their lives, complete devastation does not even begin to describe the scene. Yet, amongst the chaos, Michael Gross- Chief
Production Officer at New England Design & Construction brought food, provisions and warmth to the hearts of countless victims. Below you will read but a small part his heart-wrenching and life-saving story of how he helped in Haiti.
Flying into Port-au-prince was like something out of a surrealistic movie. When I got off of the plane, I learned my first task would be to work at the Miami University Hospital located on the airport grounds. I was told victims were dying regularly. This, I was told, was not due to their wounds, but simply from malnutrition. I quickly got to work giving them food and water and providing basic nursing. I am proud to say under my team NOT ONE patient died in the entire week and a half we were in the intensive care unit.
It did not take long before my trip stopped portraying some movie and turned to cold hard reality. I realized these people needed my help, and I was one of the few who could bring it to them.
My team continued to save the lives of hundreds. To truly convey the miracles we saw would be impossible. But I will say that seeing a man walk over to you with a smile after being just moments from death a few days before, gave me the most incredible feeling I think I will ever experience.
In summary, the experiences I encountered were the most amazing experiences I have and probably ever will face this lifetime. I love the culture, I love the people, I love the country and I can proudly say, âEUR˜I helped in Haiti.âEUR

Help Put a Spark in the Step of Area Foster Children
2011-01-03
Having cold toes, cramped feet and wet socks is no way to start the day. Unfortunately, for many foster children who enter a foster home with only the clothes on their back, this may be a reality as they are given hand-me-down shoes, or funds get allocated to replenish the many other items a growing child needs. That's why Sleep Country USA strives to put a spark in their step with its annual Shoe Drive for Foster Kids. Starting today, January 3rd, the company is seeking donations of new sneakers, boots and dress shoes for area foster children at any Sleep Country USA store. ...

"Insyte Consutling, Inc. - National Debt Recovery" poised to capture outstanding Medical and Commercial debt in NY, NJ and PA.
2011-01-03
A typical debt collection agency's goal is to accept as many clients as possible. This approach results in a large client base, with no client receiving the attention it deserves. The staff is generally comprised of undereducated and poorly trained minimum wage workers, whose job is to run little more than a "call center". These workers call automatically dialed numbers, pressuring people to pay their balance. The goal is to make large numbers of calls, with no emphasis placed on patient/customer retention or an understanding that not all situations are the same. This model ...
