Purchase a CSULB Nursing water cup w/straw (various colors) and provide clean water to the families whose homes were destroyed and have no water supply.

Purchase a CSULB Nursing stethescope shirt to help clothe the victims who are suffering in the cold.

Purchase a syringe pen and you will help heal the hearts and souls of the victims of this national tragedy.

Why is this important? A former member of our staff & a close colleague  grew up in Lavallete, New Jersey and her mom's entire house was destroyed by 'Sandy'.

-55 people reported dead
-60 million people, 20% of the US population, on the east coast have been affected by this storm
 -The damage on the east coast is estimated at $50 Billion
-People were left homeless, without power, heat, a clean water supply, electricity... and then it SNOWED!
 
Here are some pictures to illustrate the devastation:

  
Money donations will also be taken at the apparel sale or can be given to your class reps through the end of the school year.  This isn't about class points, this is about restoring faith in humanity.

Thank you
~CNSA and your Community Service Committee
