Don't forget...
As I'm sure you know; the news from the areas hit by Gustav is better than expected. Although; they are not out of the woods yet. If you recall, it was about a day after Katrina that things went from bad to worse. Hopefully, that senario will not present itself again.
If things remain as they are and the levees don't break; please do not just forget about all the residents of those areas hit that were affected. I have no statistics at hand; but I am betting that a large number of people who evacuated could not afford to. There are alot of people that were living day-to-day already that had to use what little cash they had just to put gas in their cars to get to a safe place. Feed their families on the road. Pay for a hotel room. What have you. People that couldn't afford to miss one single day of work.
________________
These people will hopefully find their way to the Red Cross when they get back to help them get their lives back on track. I am a HUGE fan of their work having seen what they can do first hand in this type of situation.
Please take a moment and donate whatever you are comfortable with. As they say: No donation is too small! :)
