Would it help if I got 20-30 pallets of drinking water close as close to the coast as allowed

I donated today...The Governor should get going on helping people. I am appalled at the sight of police driving through New Orleans with no water or food. What is going on? I have never seen such a mess. There is a failure of leadership. My husband and I are considering packing up the car with supplies and heading down. We are in Atlanta-not too far. God Bless you, you have my prayers.

We will. America, as it always does, will rise to the challenge and respond to the call.

God rest those who have passed, and God comfort, buoy up, strengthen and provide help to those who have survived and are in need. May we all be tools in His hands to that end.

My family is from Louisiana, and I still have family there in Winslow, Baton Rouge, and Monroe. My heart goes out to all of you. Yes, the renegades as you call them are turning me off, but indeed, we all have those who behave as such. I will give through the Salvation Army to help those in need.

We are doing what we can in Houston. Thousands of people from New Orleans are coming here. Of course, the plan to move 23,000 people from the Superdome to the Astrodome has made the news, but that's the tip of the iceberg. A lot of people came here on their own and are staying in hotels, apartments, and the homes of friends.

Government leaders, business leaders, and church leaders are meeting to decide how best to provide and coordinate the help. New Orleans, you will get through this. We are standing by you.
