Then headed to Cleveland just 12 days ago, where they met Amanda Mayan and Heather Torok. “We are drawing on a community of really generous and willing people to donate household items, clothing and other items,” said Heather.“The other day we walked to the bank and set up a bank account. We also went to the grocery store and started figuring out the difference between salted and unsalted cashews,” said Amanda.“There's a lot of universal symbols and smiles and nodding,” said Heather.
