Luma Mufleh, the soccer coach in the made-for-Hollywood refugee story I blogged last week, left a comment for me about starting non-profit agency to help the kids and their families. As she notes on their website, "We are humbled and overwhelmed by the enormity of the national and global response to the New York Times story. We have received thousands of letters and emails. To us, this says there is a deep hunger to respond with concrete actions to the heart-breaking struggle facing child survivors of war and their families." Apparently, the story has a connection Universal Studios. I am curious to see how that turns out. Meanwhile, I donated to the cause because the kids' stories are so compelling -- and I'm looking to kick my habit of complacency.
