Thanks!

I'd recommend everyone take a look at that post..has good information.

I like the idea of actually paying lodging for a particularly needy family..or providing gift cards.

At the cost of gasoline, driving our vehicles to Louisiana and back..plus the costs of our own food, supplies and shelter..it would probably be more costs efficient to donate in this manner.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!

You are very welcome. It is much more appealing to help actual individuals than to just send money into cyberspace.

Bush is asking everyone to not drive if you don't have to, so this is the perfect solution.

I think I'm gonna ask her to post that info as a vanity so more people will see it.

That will be appeasing and caving in to the enemy forces. You fight fire with fire, not with handouts and fear.

Those who are most fearful, proceed to make the first donations. I'm not gonna come to the aid of these thugs.
