I have not made a contribution to them in over 30 years. I tend to go with Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity. I will check into your link and see what I can do to help.<BR/>So glad that you and yours are alright.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1130348307304514722005-10-26T13:38:00.000-04:002005-10-26T13:38:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear about the devastation, but I'm glad ...Sorry to hear about the devastation, but I'm glad you're okay.

I hadn't ever seen it before, but with Katrina they did it right. I hope that lesson moves its way to your area and things get back to normal again soon.<BR/><BR/>My heart goes out to the elderly. You're right that many of them just can't stand in line for an hour to buy ice and water, no matter how much they need it. That's where support oganizations <B>should</B> come in. Any of you down there, think about buying a little extra and giving it to an elderly neighbor or someone else who needs it and can't get it.<BR/><BR/>"45% of South Floridians...{snip}...speak a language other than English at home. It's estimated that only 10% of those residents understand English well enough to communicate." That would mean that some 40.5% of south Florida residents <B>don't speak English</B>. I had no idea it had gotten that bad.<BR/><BR/>Glad you all got through in your new house without any major damage. Um, <I>are</I> you in your house or did you bug-out? Ok, I <B>HOPE</B> your new house didn't get any damage.<BR/><BR/>Stay low and keep moving,<BR/> -- FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1130334107313169842005-10-26T09:41:00.000-04:002005-10-26T09:41:00.000-04:00Yikes!

I was in Fort Lauderdale when the eye of Katrina hit, but that was nothing. Stupid tourists that we were, we were out filming it. <BR/>I will give money to our Red Cross, which is helping the US in hurricane relief.<BR/>Prayers and thoughts are with you and yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
