Heartache for others

Over the last few weeks the stories on the new have increased about refugees trying to leave Syria. The photos and stories that accompany these news broadcasts are heartbreaking. These are people just like us; with homes and jobs and families. If this was us we would be fleeing to Canada, or further...the Russian tundra, Mexico, or the Caribbean islands. I can't help but cry when I think about how these refugees are feeling and what they are being forced to experience. The death of the boy washed onto shore; his parents crying in the photos, the family that dove in front of the train to avoid the refugee camp. This is so heartbreaking. What can I do to help these people who have nothing, because they had to run from their or die.
