Of course you are not bad. We must consider how best to help. Quilts, money, volunteerism, prayer, political action, etc.

The local guild (I am not a member) was making quilts to send to Albania, I think it was, for kids who were dying of AIDS because hypodermic needles were being re-used in the hospitals.

My first thought was, why aren't they making a raffle quilt to raise money so the hospitals can buy NEW needles (or they can send needles overseas) and prevent more kids from getting sick?

Am I bad for thinking that? and is sending a quilt to someone always the most appropriate solution for a problem?
