Sue, I am so thankful that you finally heard from your daughter! I wish I were still in Alabama ... I would drive down and help you! We flew back to Colorado on Sunday, just ahead of the storms in east central AL. We will keep you all in our prayers!

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated.

Sue, you guys are in our hearts and prayers!

Our local radio stations were doing fundraising events yesterday. One station was collecting diapers,wipes & feminine products. The other was teaming with Lowes and the Red Cross to collect $. Lowe's will match all donations up to $1,000,000!!! THat is tremendous on the part of Lowe's. I drove up to Lowe's and told my son we were going to make a donation. He said " Mom, you can donate my birthday money." That was so sweet, but I told him that I would make a big donation on behalf of all of our family members. It felt SO GOOD to make that donation. I just wish that I could be there locally to help hand out food and water to those in need.

My new HDTV will just have to wait....and I'm SO okay with that. We are counting our blessings and holding our loved ones tight.

Be Safe!! my heart goes out to you and your family!!

This is the first time in my life I have ever seen real American refugees! I wish there wa some way to get some of them out of there. I'd open my home to a few and I bet there are thousands of other Americans who would also.

It will be interesting to see if all the countries in the world whom we have helped will lift a finger to help America!

StewiesMom · 09-01-2005, 04:57 AM

France, Russia, Canada, Japan are the countries that I've heard on the news donated significant amounts of money thusfar.

There are some people in Chicago driving down with 10-12 school buses full of supplies. I hope that they can get through to help those in need.

MeganS · 09-01-2005, 04:58 AM

i'm glad some countries are helping.

shecass · 09-01-2005, 05:11 AM

I'm so glad that you have heard from your family and that are safe. I hope you guys are able to get through to them and get them out. Good Luck and Keep us posted.

I just heard on the news that Disney has donated $2.5 million to the cause and all the other countries and of course individuals that have also donated. It puts things in perspective when something like this happens.

Just too bad that it takes a catastrophe like this to make you realize how truly blessed we are. I just keep thinking about all the people in that area and I can't help but to cry for them.

Hopefully it won't take long for all the supplies to get there.

jennifermcb · 09-01-2005, 05:59 AM

A christian radio station in the area is sending truck loads of supplies. Their sister stations all across the station are doing so as well. I've read that pharmaceutical companies are sending needed medications, water companies have donated water, churches are feeding the hungry and folks are opening up their homes.

Like Kristy said, other countries are donating as well. It is so heartwarming to see everyone open their hearts and pocketbooks during this traumatic time.

Connie · 09-01-2005, 07:39 AM

Sue...thanks for your message and prayers. I am thinking of you today and praying all goes well in your rescue mission. I'm so happy that you found out they are alive and can soon be reunited with them!

I heard from family today...most of them are in Arkansas and doing fine. The other family is believed to be in Houston and they all think they are also safe! It is a load off my mind to know they are all okay. They get treated so well in Arkansas. When they go to fruit stands, the people ask where they are from and when they tell them New Orleans, the people tell them to put their money away and just give them the fruit. One seller was handing things out to people and she was crying so hard as she passed out free fruit to people. I wish I was closer and could be of help.

Once again...good luck in your rescue! You're in my prayers! Give them all a big hug from me!!!

Carters Mom · 09-01-2005, 03:47 PM

OMG! I just read this. My prayers are with you for safe passage to Katie and the babies! I have heard so many stories but this hits home.

That's wonderful news that your family is safe and I know you'll be so glad to get to them. We've been watching the news and it seems like this is happening in another country!! Those horrible pictures can't be the United States! The devastation that we are seeing is unbelievable! Good luck and be safe!
