Feeling Sad

Katrina Hurricane Information


While I was away my long time online friend Fred's brother sent me an email letting me know Fred and his family where OK... they live about 60 miles north of New Orleans.  A few days later Fred was able to sign online, sadly sent me a link  Hurricane - Hattiesburg American - www.hattiesburgamerican.com
His son in law was killed, when his humvee he was in collided with hurricane debris. On the right side of the site, you can also view the gallery of photos of the destruction. I know we all extend our love and sympathy to his family, how my heart breaks for his family and all the families whose lives have been effective.

Open your pockets and hearts, please donate
NOW
.

HP Miou sent me a very helpful link she posted in her 
The Monday and Friday Mews Catzette
Information concerning rescue efforts for animals in the hurricane hit areas.  Urgent Update From AbiTaby Concerning Rescue Efforts and Requests For Help!

    Thank you for those links,friend. I am so sorry to hear about your friend's son-in-law. How very horrible, and one wonders how many other untold stories like that one are out there.
