I understand that phones in NYC are quite dicey right now. Dopers, if any of you who can’t make calls want me to call family and let them know that you’re okay, please email me at [kristen@youth-guard.org](mailto:kristen@youth-guard.org). I’ll need your name, the name of the person you want to call, and their phone number. And any other details you think are relevant. I understand that long distance isn’t working very well nationwide right now, but it might be worth a shot. No promises, but if you can’t get through to someone outside of the NYC area I might be able to. ---
