Pearlington desperate for help

[CC]

A representative of Vets and Pets of Central Florida arrived in Pearlington, MS to give them a tractor-trailer load of supplies and join Dr. Ann Scholl of Chickasaw Animal Hospital, Orlando, FL. who is there at the request of the Pontchartrain Humane Society to set up a vet clinic. His name is Marc Marchetti and he plans to stay and help because the people in Pearlington are desperate. There aren't any Red Cross, Salvation Army or any other centers there. Most of the people there have no transportation because everything is gone because of Katrina. They need everything--food, clothing, medicine, volunteers, etc. The National Guard (units from MS, AL and TN), the Army and the Army Corps of Engineers are there and doing all they can, but they don't have the supplies. If you know people who can help, they need it.

The Humane Society contacts are, President Sam Bailey cell 504-343-0175 or 985-892-8750, vice president, Kendra cell 985 246 9388 and 985 246 9377 or non-cell 985-892-8750. Marc's number is 321-229-9976.
