HEY LS1TECH

I dont know how only 37 people have read that other thread, but let's go - its time to put up!!!!

We can all afford to mod our cars and buy 3.00/gallon gas so lets send some of that $$$$ to those who need it more than we do!

New Orleans is a total loss after this hurricane, and watching the TV and hearing whats going on down there is truly terrible, it breaks my heart. Do your duty to those in need and get yourself to the donation site at redcross.org and help out these people who have lost their entire lives!

Actually I don't have the money for the exorbitant gas prices and my car has been broken down in my parents garage for the past 3 months now...but I do believe it a good idea to donate. A much easier way and slightly more rewarding for most would be something like all ticket sale from the movie box offices, for one weeks time, were to be donated to a relief fund rather than fattening some already rich actor/director/writers pockets. That's what I'd like to see. That alone in itself I'm sure would help out ten fold. Everyone will pay $10 to see a movie but hardly anyone can put themselves aside for a moment to spend money that really matters. Sorry, I'm just bitter. But you can't tell me that that wouldn't get the job done. You always hear celebs talk about it but it's always asking others to donate. Musicians are the only ones I know that truly put their money where there mouth is.

FYI for those that work for larger corporations (and some smaller ones too), they will sometimes do a company match for what the employees donate, so that in effect doubles the money donated, so check with your HR dept @work and see if they have this program in place

The gov't will clean it up.

Hey, at least I'm honest and not lying. Sorry I feel for them, but I'm not donating.

I guess I'm a heartless bastard.

My heart goes out to all of those people in LA, MS, & AL that lost everything. That could have easily been us. We're overdue for a major hurricane and I couldn't imagine going through what they're going through right now.

I'm going to make a donation to the Red Cross. Imagine if every American would just donate $20 to the Red Cross. There would be a ton of money to help those in need. I'd like to know if all of these other countries we've supported over the years with their disasters are going to help us out? They damn sure ought to, but I doubt any of them will exept for maybe Great Britain. Its always a one way street.

Our government needs to worry more about the welfare of our own people here first rather than these other third-world countries. Now is the time that we need help in what will probably go down as the worst natural disaster in America's history.

I'm going to make this a sticky so as many people can see this as possible. Lets all do our part to help our fellow Americans in this time of need.

Thats true. They chose to live somewhere thats below sea level and has to have levys and pumps to keep the water out, but anywhere you live your screwed. Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, blizzards.... ANY states that boarder water are at risk.

Great post, mmiller, how about putting this up in the Racers Lounge aswell, Im sure there are some other memebers that would help too.

Sounds like things are getting worse over there as we speak.

Subject: Fun Day



Hello Everyone,



I'm emailing everyone to let you know about a FUN Day this Sunday at Highlands Little Leauge Park for the evacuees at the Baytown Civic Center. There will be moonwalks, baseball, and lots of fun for the families affected by Hurricane Katrina. If anyone is interested in helping or has any ideas please contact Leonard Stuart at 281-728-0709.

was just informed at work that Living Hope church on 146 near I-10 opened their doors to over 150 evacuees and since they did not have their application in with Red Cross, they are not receiving any help from them. The youth director, Frank Fugere 281-383-3878, called up here to the Goose Creek CISD administration building and was asking how he could spread the word. I have contacted the church (Frank was out but we spoke with Wanda Rogers) and they are going to email us their needs. The shelters with Red Cross are filling up fast around here and I would hate for this one to not be able to take people. I thought that maybe this could be mentioned at the community-wide worship service this evening. I will forward any information they email me in case anyone is interested.

Imagine having nothing left in the world but the clothes you are wearing at this very moment. EVERYTHING that you've worked for is gone and taken from you in a few short hours. You have no HOME, no CAR, no FOOD, no WATER, all of your possessions have been destroyed and access to medicine and/or medical care is also gone. Your income immediately stops because you no longer have a job to go to as your place of employment has also been destroyed.

While listening to the radio today, I heard some of the most heart-wrenching stories from actual storms victims that retreated to the safety of Houston. One victim called in to say he and his family were headed back to Baton Rouge to stay with some friends, but before leaving Houston he needed to buy a tire for his Expedition. While completing the purchase at the tire store, the clerk asked him for his home phone number. The guy replied "sir, I no longer have a home phone number because I no longer have a home". The only possessions this family have left are the items in the back of their SUV.

The wrath of Katrina will be felt by many for a long, long time. The lives of those affected by this disaster have been changed forever. While I sit in the comfort of my air-conditioned home, I am thankful that I have a job to go to every day and even more thankful that I am able to donate some of my hard-earned money to those in need.

Every little bit helps... please do what you can.

I sent a ton of childrens clothes with my mother-in-law to work today. Someone from there is going to take them somewhere else. I have always been a kind of weary about donating money just because I am not handing it to someone myself and know where it is going. I would rather donate clothes, food, water, anything like that. Go to the store and buy the food and take it somewhere even. Maybe a bunch of people can go in and get wal-mart gift cards. That way people can buy food, clothes, batteries, or whatever they need. Just an idea.
