I Wish I Could Do More

| | Comments (0)

Out of all the heart wrenching stories and images pertaining to New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina, the images of the mother's begging for food for their babies and trying to take care of their children in this scenario...I am a loss for words
Sitting here reading these stories does not seem enough. Donating the few dollars I can does not seem enough. Like with all disasters our instincts are to go right there and physically help, but that is always more of a hindrance then a help-provided you can even get there.

I have not blogged much on this because I have very little to add to the very up-to-date bloggers and news casts.

I attended school in New Orleans, at Xavier University of Louisiana. I would link to it, but the site is down. It was a good school, the only Catholic Historically Black College founded by St. Katherine Drexel. Two of my bridesmaids were classmates and I pray that they and their families are well.
I have lost touch with them, not out of any conflict, but over the happenings of life. I am so sorry and I hope God forgives me.

The Katrina blogburst

Late to post, but I wanted to do my part for the Katrina blogburst. Half a million people who need new homes -- Jesus, have mercy!

I sent my first Katrina contribution to Catholic Charities USA

More hurricane relief agencies:
The Red Cross
Mercy Corps

More on the blogburst, including a big list of relief organizations

The evacuees who sheltered in the Superdome are being moved to the Houston Astrodome. Many of these evacuees are children.
The Houston Society of St Vincent de Paul is organizing children's relief in The Largest Sleepover in Texas. They're getting together new sleeping bags, pillows, PJs and slippers, and crayons and coloring books for these displaced children. (thanks to Amy Welborn for this link)
