You Are My Christmas Angel

One Volunteer's Story: Len Dozois, Disaster Services Volunteer

"I remember my first Disaster Action Team call like it was yesterday; Christmas Eve, 2005. I was having dinner at my in-law's house. We had just sat down to eat when my cell phone rang. 'Merry Christmas,' I said, not recognizing the phone number that flashed on my screen. 'Len, this is Karen from the Red Cross. We have a single-family fire in Largo, and I need you at the office within an hour.' I agreed, hung up, and quickly ate my meal. Kissing everyone goodbye, I jumped into my car and headed to the office."
