Please: Physical labor in assistance? >

[mr_hat]

I know we're at the stage where cash is all-important. And I've given. What I want -- no, what I really neeed -- is to give of myself.

Yes, I've scrolled through the Katrina help sticky. But want to be down there, as soon as possible, doing what I can to the extent that I can.

Any ideas? Thanks.

1. Go to work for Halliburton

That's probably the only way you can get close enough.:(

2. check it out locally

We have hurrican survivors in our neck of the woods, and I know that the local charities are getting an influx of donations. You might check out such places in your area to see if you can help there.

3. Call your local Red Cross office.

That's what I did -- they said that if I want to go down and help I should go to a meeting later this week, so that's what I'm doing.

I'm out of work at the moment -- little money, but a lot of time, so perhaps I can hand out sandwiches or pack a truck or something...

4. I so desperately wish

I could do the same, but work responsiblities and finances make it impossible at this time.
