More on Katrina

As the relief and rescue efforts continue, it’s ever clearer that the need for assistance is truly massive. Since many of you who visit here probably have websites, I’d like to encourage you to visit the Red Cross and get one or more banners that you can put on your site so visitors can have an opportunity to offer help: Red Cross Banners For Your Website Finally help is getting in, but rescue efforts are still continuing. There are still people trapped. And the need for help from everyone continues to grow. The truth is that that it will continue for a long time - long after everyone who isn’t a victim has moved on to whatever happens next. We get conditioned by the media and the complexities of our own lives to become quickly satiated - maintaining focus is difficult. Especially for long-term problems requiring extended concentrated attention and help. In the moment - at the beginning - we can feel strongly the needs of those whose homes and lives have been shattered. But over time we become used to it and eventually fail to really hear or feel as clearly as we did at the beginning. ANY - any assistance you can offer could well make a huge difference to some one you’ll never know. And if you can afford somehow, to donate again - and I won’t kid you here - and again and again over the weeks and months to come, please do it. You may never know just who you helped or how much difference you made, but you will have made a difference. And if all of us do what we can, it will be a massive amount of assistance and support. What must it be like to see your town vanish, to lose your home, job, and every possession but what you have on your back? The needs are desperate. And they will continue. So again, whatever help you can offer - anything - no matter how minimal it is - please click on the banner below and do what you can. Thank you
