I've been watching the news reports of the devastation, and it's making me sick. The streets of the neighborhoods look like canals with roofs. I still haven't heard from most of my friends from New Orleans, I hope they are alright, and if they are lucky enough to have their lives, their homes may be a different story. I can't imagine losing my home, it's my refuge, my sanctuary. Lets help these folks affected by Hurricane Katrina out, the ones who have lost their sanctuary.
If you are interested in making a contribution to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Relief, here is a link where you can do it! The donations supply hundreds of thousands of victims that were left homeless by Hurricane Katrina with critical necessities.

Thanks to your inspiration, have done the same thing at my blog.
ReplyDeleteKiero, I think we are all shocked and devastated by this. I'm heart sick over this enormous tragedy.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Mona, I think we, like most, just feel so helpless. I don't know what else to do. I hope at least some traffic gets to where donations will be made.
I'm glad to see you're OK.
