Each of us has been stretched in ways unimaginable and called to action for a greater good beyond ourselves. We’ve been asked to adjust our schedules, our lives, our work, our behavior, our views, our relationships…in many cases we’ve been required to adjust our spending, our habits, our hopes, and our dreams. All of us in some shape or form have been asked to make very personal sacrifices with our greater community in mind.
