An Elderly Couple in LA That Needs Your Help. |
|
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 09:31 PM by MassDemm
I posted yesterday about how I helped a woman with three children in Louisiana, by calling a hotel and paying for their room for a week.
There is another elderly couple there who needs help, they are waiting on FEMA and are getting near the end of their financial rope.
PM me if you want to help this couple and I will give you the information.

I literally gave every cent I could spare for the month to Habitat, Salv Army and Cath Charities or I would help financially. I'll kick it though

15. is someone going to set this up ---if so, PM me |
|
as these threads die too fast tonight and I have to get ready for a trip in the a.m. to sort donated clothes --- if someone could p.m., I could check fast when I get up and send something before leaving. I won't have email for the two days I understand or I'd set it up. Sorry.

It's so important to help people individually rather than just give to faceless agencies, imo.

23. This family has gotten some help from DU tonite! You guys are the best! |
|
If you still want to call, you may want to ask if there is another family that needs help.
One family can sleep tight tonite, reassured they have a place to sleep tomorrow and more!
