A quote that my son's teacher e-mailed and said that she is going to mention it in class on Monday. I thought someone might find it helpful. It is by Fred Rodgers (of PBS children's show friendly neighborhood fame).
I have not heard this quote before so I looked it up and found the Fred Rodgers and company site,

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.
