Whether it was tugging at the heartstrings, or not it certainly doesn't sound as if she was hoping for money. She finally got that, what she needs is a roof over her head. Try mailing that! Even if she was after money, the problem is getting it there, duh!
I hope she will let those of us who are concerned know how it all turns out. I will check back here in a few days to see if there was a favorable outcome.
I will let you guys know. My appeal is next week. I am looking for a place anyway, but don't know if I will find something affordable. Everything is so outrageous rent wise now. I just spent a huge amount of money on moving expenses last month. I can't believe I will have to pay for all this all over again already.

Mail delivery in New Orleans should improve with plant reopening

Mail deliveries to the New Orleans area should improve substantially when a Hurricane Katrina-damaged plant restarts operation this spring, a U.S. Postal Service official said Wednesday.
Deliveries -- including magazines and advertisements -- could be back to normal this summer, said Dolores Killette, a Postal Service vice president and consumer advocate. She was scheduled to update the New Orleans City Council on the city's mail service on Thursday.
Since the Aug. 29 storm, only first-class mail delivery has been available in New Orleans. Even those deliveries are generally slower than before the storm.
No magazines or other non-first-class pieces are being delivered because the New Orleans plant, located near the Super Dome, had its basement flooded and electrical system badly damaged, forcing the closure of the mail-processing facility.
The facility handled all mail for the New Orleans metro area before the storm. In December, the busiest month, it averaged 20 million pieces before the storm.
She wouldn't offer precise dates on re-opening of the plant, but she said service there will be phased in over time and could be back to normal this summer.

It seems I would have been better off with fema and red cross assistance, a fema trailer and/or free hotel expenses than trying to do this through my own hard work and money.
I think you have to be a crook, an a**hole or on welfare to live here.
