NY Times agrees: there is much work to do!!!

There is still much work to do, so if you can get down there to volunteer, by all means do so, if not, why not donate to either pay for someone else to go down, or to any of the many organizations on the ground.

From the NY Times:

"The tent city here is one of three set up in recent weeks along the Mississippi coast, making room for families now that the emergency shelters have closed and the Federal Emergency Management Agency is working through a backlog of some 5,000 families still on waiting lists for government-supplied travel trailers or mobile homes.

...In Pass Christian, the need is especially dire....

The work of clearing debris and the crushed remains of about 2,000 houses is far short of the halfway mark. As a result, construction of large amounts of new housing is still months off."


Remember, we're going. You can too!
