My mom is going to New Orleans to help clean up the mess Katrina made-she wants me to go with her but I really dont want to. but if it's to help others, i sorta dont mind. the thing is, I'm spoiled, I'm used to sleeping in a bed and wearing nice clothes everyday and just kickin' it. but if i go to new orleans, then i will be sleeping on a church floor and i shouldnt even bother bringing cute clothes since all i'll be doing is cleaning and building stuff (i'm not used to things like that.
i think i should go, but what do you all have to say about this?

I would fully encourage you to go. Most of us are guilty of enjoying the easy, spoiled life (I should know, I'm an only child).
When you do anything selflessly, you are truly working for the greater good and in return will be blessed beyond words.
The unfortunate people in New Orleans need our help, our prayers, and our love. They did nothing to deserve what has befallen them.
Hopefully you will decide to accompany your Mother and to help people who truly do need the help.
Bright Blessings..........

the experience can be a wonderful expression of just how thankful you really are for the blessings in your life. Share those blessings with those less fortunate than you.
I have a lot of family and friends in the New Orleans area, some were "spoiled " as you call yourself and lost EVERYTHING in the blink of an eye- this could just as easily happen to oyu, some of them did not have a whole lot of anything and lost the littel they did have- anything you could do to help out and give these people some semblance of the normalcy that you appreciate every day would be greatly appreciated by them and the family and friends in other areas that care for and love them. Even a year later, a lot of these people aren't going to have anything that resembles any Thanksgiving celebration that we take for granted- except for what others out of the kindness of their hearts and selflessness do to help them out.

Seeing it on television isn't something like seeing it with your own eyes. i'm uncertain as to which evacues you're pertaining to, those who're lower back or those nonetheless lengthy gone? In my reports, maximum of the human beings lengthy gone ought to favor to go back. those that are lower back are operating with no end in sight to fix our preciouse city. There are community cleanups and fund raisers each and each of the time. the quantity of help necessary is a lot more beneficial than we are able to cope with. tens of 1000's of thousands of volunteers were out and in, notwithstanding the paintings in endless. each body remains residing in tiny holiday trailers because their coverage received't pay or they are waiting on gov. promised money which have in no way arrived. there isn't any funds the following. Little must be performed devoid of money. such quite a number of the hospitals are nonetheless closed. What are unwell human beings meant to do? There aren't any faculties for the toddlers to attend. There are not adequate nicely paying jobs. the standard public transportation gadget is operating at a fragment of what it changed into pre katrina. our properties are uninsured because no corporation will wright guidelines the following. Their is a psychological well being disaster. we've the worst crime charges in the country. i ought to bypass on and on. yet back, we are doing each thing we are able to to assist ourselves. each body is operating tirelessly to assist each body of their communities get into their properties. yet, we are able to in simple terms benefit this a lot. we choose the gov. to do what they suggested they could and preserve those that do not have any thoughts or way out. i ought to also favor to assert thanks to the international for each and each of the help and remind human beings that we nonetheless desperately choose help.

My mom always says, "the Lord helps those who help themselves." I don't see them helping themselves too much. It's like they expect everyone else to do it for them.
