our    1   was given prominent media exposure we    2  thousands of calls per day.
I spoke with countless victims who were trying to locate family members lost in the flood. They all
needed    3  with housing food and clothing. It took weeks    4   federal assistance was available to the
majority. Some received none.
         5   we were there to help the trauma(心灵创伤) made some callers rude. Some were     6   . Some
were suicidal(有自杀倾向的). It was hard to stay    7   and encouraging. Just at that time I got a call
from Brenda.
     Brenda was a single woman    8   her early fifties with no children. She was all alone and had been
living in a crowded    9   in Houston for the past month. She said "I've heard that my house was still
   10   and at this point the hardest part of all of this though is seeing the    11   suffer. The young tend
to recover easily    12   many of the elderly have no other resources."
     Brenda was hit hard but her heart still overflowed with    13   for others.
     "I know that recovery lies ahead " she continued. "I    14   that if we were the ones chosen to endure
(忍受) this    15   then God will give us the grace to endure. The    16   of our city has given birth to a
spirit of unity."
     "My hope isn't    17   on my circumstances " she continued. "My hope is based on my   18    to hope.
Hope is a choice."

just    20   .
