Super Bowl and the Earthquake

 Super Bowl 57 is over. I admire the skill of the players, the excitement of the game. I watched the teams tackle one another and players emerge from the under the pile. As I watched another image came to mind: the people buried beneath the rubble in the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. "Where's the ball?" we asked in the football game. "Where are the bodies?" rescue workers asked as they labored in the horrific devastation. And still there was hope as a l0-year-old was pulled alive after 147 hours. The game is over; fans go home. Five million are homeless in Turkey and Syria. The tragedy is not over. How can we help?
