Two Years since Katrina
This week marks the two-year anniversary since hurricane Katrina devastated the southern United States along the coast. Unfortunately, there are thousands of people still displaced. Can you imagine loosing all of your worldly possessions and living in a make-shift house or trailer…for TWO years. People simply don’t have the money to get their lives back together and after the media attention died a few months later, so did the support from the rest of the country.
Many of the places where people are now living are low quality and hot spots for crime. It’s not just bachelors living here–there are families with small children suffering every day because their insurance did not cover the damages to their houses.
Today, take a moment to say a prayer for these people and, if you can, make a small donation–even if its only $10–to one of the countless funds set up to help the victims that are almost drained. Every little bit helps.
