Hurricane season is here. I live on the MS Gulf Coast. We were badly affected by Katrina. During the past year there has been so many kind people who have come to help the people in the affected area. I just wanted to thank everyone. It really makes you feel good to see all the people that still care in the world. I didn't need the help thankfully but there are so many that did and still do.
Do you have a story to tell? Know of any kinds acts?

Our youth group actually went down to Biloxi-Gulfport MS and helped out with some stuff. We got the oppourtunity to build 2 houses in the area. It was pretty cool that we got to help out and im glad I got the chance. But it did look devastating, I can't imagine what you people went through and im really sorry that you had to go through that. It is heartbreaking to see stuff like that go on. idk about anyone else but it effected me alot to see it happen.

I'm sorry that you and your friends, neighbors and family had to go through what you've been going through, dolphin. It's been traumatic and costly for sooooo many people.
My girlfriend and I spent three weeks in NOLA working with the Red Cross in late Sept./Oct. We were mostly there doing damage assessment, but we also spent four days in DeRidder LA helping administer a shelter for Rita evacuees while Rita's eye passed nearly over us. We had 125mph wind gusts during it all, 100 foot-tall trees crashing down around us, transformers exploding, and tornadoes nearby.
I have a bunch of pictures of the experience posted online, and some video as well. If you'd like to see any of that, contact me (by clicking on my s/n, etc.), but I don't know, you may have had your fill of seeing that in person and pictures in the media already.
And, you're very welcome. We'd do it again in a heartbeat, and we will if the need arises.
Kind acts? Oh yeah. A lifetime's worth.

ok...i think of you should hearken to this from a BLACK guy or woman whose homestead in New Orleans became into actual destroyed with the aid of typhoon katrina. We have been given out with the aid of the way. Blacks are no longer whining for whites to repair issues for us. we are disenchanted as a results of fact the government has failed us. some people who in simple terms did no longer have the potential to get out have been left with the aid of our government to fend for ourselves for 5 days. we are mad as a results of fact our incompetant mayor and governor have did no longer get us the sufficient investment to rebuild our levees and city. different races did did stay and die in nola. some in particular white factors like St. Bernard and Lakeview have been thoroughly obliterated with the aid of the floodwaters. yet lots of those human beings had coverage and whether they did no longer they have the potential to get themselves on their ft back. So.....do no longer start up a rant approximately some thing you have no longer incredibly experienced.
