Katrina
What a mess.
Just got a call from my neighbor that has family in New Orleans.
They lost their Home, Business, Cars and every personal belonging they own.
They made it to safer ground prior to the storm hitting.
They are being told they may not get back home for at least 6 months.
Silver lining: they are alive and their kids are safe and everyone is healthy.
They need things though. Things like pants and shirts. Yeah, it's that bad. All they have are the clothes on their back. No home (isn't there anymore), no place to work (isn't there anymore) and no chance of returning *home* any time soon.
Anyway, the reason I am writing this. Whether the media tells you or not, if you have time or money, PEOPLE NEED YOUR HELP!

Just got an update from my neighbor:
Just wanted to forward a message I received from the family that you all have so generously donated items to. They are all doing well, just trying to start over. I know that if at this very moment, *** had free time from the frustrations she and her family are experincing, she would sit down and express her gratitude to each and every one of you for all that you have done.
Thank you again for everything and for being there for this family. They will soon become residents of this area and I hope that one day you will all have the chance to meet them face to face.
Very good news!
