Is the Red Cross offering help to the homeless ???

Question

I live in New orleans, LA I have been homeless for 4 months now and continue waiting on a FEMA trailer. I have been turned down by the local housing authority because I was not a recipiant of public assistance or sectio 8 housing before the Katrina Disaster. and turnd away by the shelters. no room available for my son and me. I told my son they told this to Jesus so, what do we do from ere. I am really wondering if there is any posibility of assistance. To try to get off the streets. I have been working however, the rents are out of controll here so, my money goes to live in hotels when I can afford to. I have a son, he is 15. he has been a real wonderful kid going through all this displacement. I'd just like to ask if the Red Cross or some orginazation could help me get him some warm clothes and if possibe something for Christmas. He has been such a wonderful little man inspite of what is going on. I just want to give him a happy time and a litttle hope. Please Help 504610384
