As I am sure most of you are aware, there is tremendous need for people in the gulf. My parents have 3 friends who were affected by the storm down there. They are sending a care package down to LA for them in the next week. If anyone wants to donate gift certificates, clothes, non perishable food, toiletries, etc to the cause please let me know. I know that there are alot of organizations asking for donations, this is just another avenue for aid.
Like so many others, these families lost everything. THey thought that they would be able to get back to their homes in a few days and consequently did not take anything with them when the evacuation call came. They are currently staying with family in the LA area.
I just wanted to put it out there to whoever wanted to do something but felt uneasy donating to big organizations.
Let me know if you'd like to contribute to the care package.
Thanks.
