阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Dear editor,
One of our volunteers brought your magazine and website to my attention. I love them and the possibility they provide for us to make our world a kinder place to raise our children. Actually, we are doing the same thing.
Five years ago, I was a welfare mom struggling to find work and raise four children on a limited income. I knew I had special abilities, and I had neighbors who were struggling and had something to offer too. So I started to connect families to one another so they could care and share resources with one another. Common sense told me that this would improve the quality of life for many in our communities and provide hope for our children's future. In February, 1993, we became a non-profit organization, so agencies and schools would allow us to use their facilities for neighborhood gatherings and trainings for free.
We have been a totally volunteer organization since our beginning. There are over 200 families in our network now and we've received national attention for our effort. Our volunteers have spent over 10,000 volunteer hours helping their neighbors in need.
With the help of four Microsoft volunteers who developed a state of the art. database (数据库), we now are signing up Good Neighbors from all around the world who are committed to caring and sharing resources with their neighbors. We connect them either by phone or by email. The Family Support Network is a grassroots movement. People are attracted to our effort. We do not advertise. We do share our good news on occasion, which is why I am writing to you. I was recognized as a Giraffe last year for sticking my neck out to make the world a better place. The Associated Press dawned us a leader in bringing in a more civil society and John McKnight of Northwest University acknowledged the Family Support Network as an innovative(创新的) approach to asset-based community development.
You are welcomed to visit our website to learn more about us at www. family network.org / wecare. Together we are making a difference to create a kinder and more caring society for our children's future.

One of the many things I've learned since becoming a mother is that we all need help. And that help often comes in the form of other mothers. It can be as simple as a fellow mom watching your child for five minutes at the playground while you run your other child to the bathroom, or as complex as a friend picking up your daughter and taking her out for lunch or a date when your babysitter cancels and you have something emergent. I wasn't always keen on asking for or
