Katrina Relief - Please consider helping!!

[Big-Foot]

Folks - we've all seen the news reports and pictures of the devastation in LA and MS. Many people lost - homes destroyed - lives totally up-rooted - jobs gone.. It's the worse disaster to ever hit the USA.

We need to help as much as we possibly can and then help more...

The Salvation Army has announced that if you make a donation to the relief effort and mark that donation to be "100% Katrina Relief" that they will forgoe the typical (and necessary) extraction of administrative fees from your donation and that ALL (100 Percent) of that donation will go towards the relief effort.

The Salvation Army can buy food, clothing and supplies in far greater quantities than we can donate. A dollar we spend may buy a loaf of bread. That same dollar spent my the Salvation Army can buy two loaves of bread, a gallon of Milk and have a little left over. The same holds true for clothing and other things..
Also - The Salvation Army tries to spend the money in the physical area that has been impacted - thereby infusing more money back into the local economy.

Please consider helping.

Thank you...

Great idea Big-Foot--I just went to the link and made a contribution.

Let's all send as much $ as we can. It could just as easily be us, and I/m sure there are plenty of us who are affected directly or have family and friends there.

already sent my donation, and at the risk of sounding like one of the 'Save the Children' people...

eat in once this weekend instead of going out, skip lunch, give your church donation, whatever you can, and send it to the Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc...

Our 'sacrifice' will help these people eat and drink. Fellow american's, fellow Mustang enthusiasts, fellow people...

Its great seeing everyone helping out. Thats a good way to keep America close. Especially the sports organizations offering so much. It shows some ray of hope while the people actually in New Orleans make the situation much worse than it already is. Some times I have no hope in humanity.


Some of those poor people down there...honest people...are suffering. Lets get some help.
