Yesterday I read a post of the Elfquest Forum "The Scroll of Colors" about
someone who has suffered misfortune. You can read about it here:

We - not just Elfmom and me, or the EQ community, but every one of us - receive pleas for help every day. This cause, that charity, this natural disaster, that man-made horror... It can be overwhelming. It HAS been overwhelming, too. Even in as small a group as "the comics." Folks fall ill, have accidents, find themselves in unhappy circumstances.
For years, Wendy and I - sometimes individually, sometimes in concert - have chosen to whom we give assistance, and in what form. And we're going to continue to do that. Now, however, I've decided we can do a little more. I'm going to press the Elfquest.com website into service to get the word out more than previously. For now, there's a link in the "What's New" column called "Elf-Help - Give Something Back" that will lead to a story or a notice that merits your attention.
What you do with that information is, always, your choice - what I want to do is provide a bit more exposure for the cause itself. I believe doing so will help more than not doing so - and that's enough reason right there.
Shade and sweet getting involved,
Richard Pini aka ElfPop
