It has been said that "when it rains it pours" and at some point in everyone's lives they will believe wholeheartedly in that statement. For some, it may feel like they were born in the storm and have never found a way to get out of the rain. For others it may be a persistent drizzle, never a full downpour but never a break either. And for some, it may be the first time they've ever seen rain. No matter which is true, when the rain comes everyone hopes they will have a way to stay dry, be it a sturdy umbrella or a cozy shelter, but that is not always the case. Reaching out for help is another way to get out of the rain.
