Kim,
It is so wonderful what you are doing - and the link we have now that you are keeping us posted. You will be so rewarded from doing this - and you already are - you met Vida. I was a new Red Cross caseworker during Hurricane Floyd - which hit my neighborhood (eastern NC) a few years ago. For weeks we were unable to go to work, have electricity, etc. and people were airlifted in helicopters all around us from their flooded homes. I heard heart wrenching stories of survival as a caseworker. Anything you can do to directly comfort these people will never be forgotten by them. You are fortunate to be able to help.
Our area will definitely be sending aide - probably a lot. Everyone here knows how much it means. Thank you for posting and offering direct help and even though I will work through people here to send things and the Red Cross for money donations - we just might send a box of stuff your way - teen stuff abounds at my house!!
Again - thank you for keeping us posted. I will be checking back soon.
Denise
