They don't need clothes from Talbot's. They need ordinary, clean, clothes of the type they are used to wearing. It might be a novelty, but I don't think they would appreciate them . . .now. Maybe sometime they would.

Been there done that. Gave some really nice stuff to a family whose house was destroyed by fire. They might have bartered with some of the nice stuff I donated, but I doubt they ever wore them. That was back when my kids were able to have really nice things from good stores.

Now I don't care about those fancy clothes any more. Am so glad I'm past that. I have sufficient and could show up at almost any function properly dressed. My sister has given me two nice coats and some nice-quality summer outfits. I'm saving them for something special mostly and wearing my cheaper stuff because that is me now.

Nothing at all against you.

One thing I learned working in Homestead after Hurricane Andrew - looking at people, you couldn't tell rich from the poor when they were all thrown out into the dark by 150 mph winds. I use common sense, and I believe there are women who would like to wear some nice clothes to church on Sunday. There are a lot of proud church going people in Louisiana.

I have also packed up plenty of lightweight clothes, keeping in mind the heat and humidity. These are shorts, t-shirts, capris, slacks, etc.
