FEMA just needed help from the bottom up

Rosie's for all kids foundation.....Rosie.com
Wow!
A few minutes earlier I watched Rosi O'Donnell on AC360 talking about her Rosie's For All Kids Foundation. Through her foundation she has been able to raise over $2million for Kids, survivors of hurricane Katrina. From FEMA trailers set up as Head Start to Fun Day events almost from the moment Katrina passed Rosie had a support program up and running in Baton Rouge. To hear about the help she and her foundation have brought to these vulnerable children caused my eyes to water up.

I couldn't help but to remember just a few years ago casually following the court battle that she and her partner had in their attempt to adopt kids. All she wanted was a couple children of her own that she could love, nurture and support. The Christian right and most republicans came against her hard. She was a low life lesbian in their eyes. She was the bottom of the rung. Like many gays and lesbians are treated she was treated with hate and intolerance. To them, she was unfit to be a mother.

At the bottom where they tried to push her is where her resolve stood firm. A good foundation is necessary for many things in life, buildings, love and trust to mention a few. Like a rock she anchored her family and held firm to her heart, her desires and her humanity.

By her own admission FEMA has been very helpful in her post Katrina efforts. While she acts as Jesus would have acted when a devastating hurricane hit, many on the right are still judging and hating. I can hear Jesus scolding these same so called Christians...."when I was hungry you.....when I needed shelter you....when I needed......"Oh....Wait a minute it was that woman over there, the lesbian feeding the least among us, giving shelter to the least among us, clothing the least among us....being like Christ!

Tonight I applaud the lesbians. Tonight I wish I were a lesbian. Well I am o.k. not being a lesbian but it sounds like Rosie has more character, love and humanity than most "Christians" and republicans I hear casting aspersions.

FEMA just needs a little more help from the bottom up I guess.
