West Toledo:
John and Mary Spencer have begun to mobilze a small committed group of neighbors from their Old Orchard neighborhood to help with the recent earthquake in Haiti. John a local engineer was motivated late Tuesday night when reports of the earthquake passed by on the ticker of Fox News.
“I just can’t imagine what those people are going through, I mean they have very little to start, with a natural disaster like this it's just horrible, I feel so bad” said John
The Spencers have gathered a total of 26 cans of food and 4 bags of rice and plan to send it COD via USPS to a small village on the island. When asked about their civic involvement locally the Spencers replied
“ Locally? Well we don’t really care about our neighbors or anyone else in Toledo. Yeah sure there are plenty of people that need help here but we are more motivated to help those that we can’t see nor will ever meet, and to be quite honest we feel more comfortable contributing to worldwide organizations that we aren’t totally sure give our money and goods to the people that really need them”
