Blankets and Bedding
11: 53am
Tuesday
September 11th, 2001. Any available community buildings will be converted into shelters. With thousands of passengers arriving at any minute, the town is asking for help with... well anything you can do!
Cristal I saw on the news there lookin' for blankets and bedding and maybe some food!
Do you know what they need and how much?
I need something to do,
Cuz I can't watch the news anymore
Can I help? Is there something I need to do, something to keep me from thinking of all the scenes on the toob
I need something to do cuz I can't watch the news
No, I can't watch the new anymore.
In the winter from the water in the wind. If a stranger ends up at your door.
You get on a horn.
Hello this is Bueala Davis down at the academy, and I herd we might be getting some... guests. Thought I could help whoever is in charge of getting a school organized.
How many passages can we take? Oh well we fit about 400 students -- yes can probably do 600 -- yah or sure 700... if we really hack them in. When are they commin'? Could be any time now, well I'm glad I phoned!
I get a call from Bueala looking for anything 700 people from around the world might need, so I go down to Shaperns and the manager says to take what I want off the shelves, toothbrushes, floss, mouthwash, deodorant and I'm back at the school where Buelala says...
Ya know those plans probably got some babies on 'em.?
So I'm back to Shaperns for diapers and were unpacking them when Annette says...
Ya know those babies will probably gonna be hungry...?
So I'm back to Shaperns for formula and baby food and when I get back Buelala says...
Ya know those planes probably filled with women of child-bear and age...?
So...
So... I'm back to Shaperns to pick up as many pads and tampons as they have!
The Baptist Church needs a hand movin' their pews. Dr. O'Brian down at the pharmacy has agreed to fill any prescriptions. Oh! and the Lions Club is looking for some toilet paper, if ya have any extra.
Medicine
Toothpaste
Underwear
Aspirin
Jackets our kids grew out of last summer.
And down at the station, were taking donations out by the door.
Holy Jesus theres more!
It's better than being at home alone wondering whats really happening
Everyones phoning!
Were setting up rooms in the schools...
And crying all afternoon wondering what could be done!
What do we need?
I made a tray of sandwiches
We need 50 more
Sandwiches?
Trays!
What do we need?
200 gym mats, is that enough?
Are you telling me, and we'll both know!
What do we need?
For the love of God! Stop bringing toilet paper to the Lion's Club!
How do you know what you need, when you don't know how many your needing to feed. When you don't know how many are staying, how long they are staying. We better start praying the weather stays nice!
In the winter from the water, in the wind
In the winter from the water, in the wind
In the winter from the water, in the wind
In the winter from the water, in the wind
If a stranger ends up sent by fate!
Are we gonna be ready?
We'll we have to be!
