We live in a world in which it feels like we’re being smacked with one tragedy after the other. That’s okay, though. The good times? They’re easy. It’s the times like this when faced with adversity and the choices you make during them that make you who you are. That shape your character.
Here at Dread Central we try to be a very socially aware website. Here it doesn’t matter your religion, your sexual preference, your class, your color… it’s all irrelevant here. The only thing which matters to us is that we are all in this world – through thick and thin – together. With two devastating tragedies that have left the U.S. and its territories reeling, it’s our responsibility to let you know how you can help.
