Like me, I'm sure that you have been reading the articles seeing the unbelievable footage of the damage caused by hurricane katrina. For me what's most tragic, the separation of families that has occurred as a result of this catastrophic storm and the emergency evacuation procedures. The headlines are heartbreaking...
"Katrina leaves children separated from their anguished parents"
"Reuniting kids with families proves to be a daunting task after Katrina"
My brain can hardly fathom the metal anguish and emotional exhaustion that the evacuees have been facing. I can't imagine the feeling of being totally alone -not knowing where my family is, whether or not they are alive or dead. Its just unthinkable.
But this blog entry is certainly not intended to be a downer. This is a feel good virtual location. I'm here to present you with a way to help. Well.. I didn't completely come up with it myself. My friend Justin, who is a total rockstar, actually organized the whole idea. But I get kudos by proxy for being friends with him :-)
Anyway, if you want to help, you can join the "KATRINA RELIEF: Five Days - Five Million Miles" movement. Yeah.. its bigger than a drive I'm calling it a movement. If you are like me and have airlines miles (any number will do) this is a perfect opportunity to put them to great use!!!
Show your compassion for your fellow Americans who really need you. Trust me, it feels great to know that you are part of the solution!
