3. We have an aid in the OR whose parents lost everything-

We have Duers here who will need help.

I'm pretty confused on how I can help.

$$$ I' will give tomorrow to the girl at work.

Blood _ I will go to Red Cross and donate

BIking to work, and now for groceries, will continue.

I have a room 1700 miles away, and could adopt
a family if need be.

Maybe things will be more clear for me in the morning.

2. Red Cross has the most experience dealing with survivors of

disasters. And you have a reasonable shot of your money going where you intended.

5. Done, i picked hurrican relief but it's good how they have

a choice there, i've been holding on to $250 for something else but i just donated it and i'm damn glad i did.

8. Make sure to donate blood, too!

9. you know what my husband said to me?

i almost cried when he said it---"We can afford to help now Hon, so we should"

11. I find myself in a similar situation.

I have a little extra, and I'm giving. Good for you and your husband.

4. As long as his money lasts - my son is matching donations to the Red Cross

www.estimatesoftware.com

The need for help is desperate.Every little bit helps. We must rally and send money.
I know a person in Punta Gorda, who is a survivor from last year's hurricanes, still living in what he calls "Femaville".
He says without the Red Cross's food and help he would not have survived the first few days after Charley.

The lack of helicopters and National Guard is apparent already. The Red Cross is maxed out, and lack of money should not be an additional problem.

Thank goodness we have ** praying.

7. Wow Very COOL!

I'm donating some $ now.

Kat you didn't think I was kidding when I said
we eat PBJ's and Balogna while protesting the
Iraq War in September, I hope....

ps _ am a RN - my house is located on
Cape Cod I have a room. I would purchase
bus tickets for a small family and house them
for a few nonths as necessary. Any one know any one
who know bikes- a bike mechanic- enjoys cycling, we could hire you through Novemeber, you can bring wife, child.

I could use some help painting my house- so
it would be a job. We have terrific thrift stores here.

I'm willing to share what I have.

13. So now we all need to find local blood drives

6. Red Cross is good

I volunteered some time to help man much needed blood drives in the aftermath of 9/11 as well as some others. Of course, as fate would have it, there were few injured in that disaster as they mostly died, but every bit helps.

12. Just don't donate to Operation Blessing

that's Pat Robertson's organization and he'll probably stuff half the money in his pockets.

14. Red cross is the best.
