Help for Katrina Survivors Evacuating from Gustav

[lavendertook]

People are trying to evacuate now before Gustav hits New Orleans by Monday. No one who survived Katrina should be going through this again.

If you can afford to donate anything at all by paypal, credit card, or by mailing a check, INCITE! is taking donations here "to help low-income women of color and their families evacuate safely if need be, stay safe for the duration of the evacuation, and return to the city as soon as possible so as not to fall prey to the pushout that has kept so many folks from being able to return to New Orleans since Katrina."

Thanks to La Chola for the link.

My heart goes out to everyone in New Orleans. I hope everyone is out and safe this time, and I hope that the relief efforts are actually supplied when and where they are needed.

My heart goes out to those who are still unable to leave, for whatever reason, and for everyone who went through Katrina and their PTSD is being triggered right now--I'm sure there are some folks who are just incapacitated by it, and some of those we're going to lose.

having felt the nesting urge I can't imagine surviving not just the devastation but the abandonment by people who have power... i knock on wood for folks.

Yes--I know I haven't a clue. Just wishing them my best and sending what I can.
