Hurricane Katrina victims need your help!
Often times, life passes me by and rarely do I stop to appreciate what I have. A home to come back to at the end of the day, having food and water, clothes to wear, the basic necessities of life. My alma mater is Tulane University, I lived in New Orleans for 4 years while I studied at Tulane. Its an unique city, Mardi Gras rocks, cajun food rocks. I was hoping to visit next year with Maria, but never thought that New Orleans may not be there to visit anymore.
The devastation that Hurricane Katrina left behind has now been called the "greatest natural disaster in US history". There may be up to a million who are homeless, thousands feared dead. Those fortunate enough to survive must literally rebuild their lives from nothing; start over.
When the tsunami happened, I felt sorry for the victims, but the event was literally across the globe. It never impacted me personally as much as what Katrina left in its wake. It hits home very hard to see New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region submerged and places that I've been to destroyed. The human suffering is unfathomable. This is our tsunami.
Please contribute what you can to this relief effort and pray for all the victims of Katrina, those that are dead and those who survived as they must now find a way to move on.

I'm surprised, actually shocked, that no one has commented or replied.
At the office, we're running a Relief Fund and we're matching our employee's donations dollar for dollar up to $10K. Someone already donated over $3,000 here! This gave me an idea...
How about we set up a Relief Fund of our own? I can run the collection, just write out a check to the American Red Cross for whatever you can, and I can send it to the Red Cross on behalf of the S2000 Club of South Florida. I'll even give you a receipt for tax purposes. Also I'll discuss the possibility of donation matching here in the office with some people.
Who wants to start pledging some donations?
Tommy & Maria - $100
