WHY I BLOG THE HURRICANES AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO WHAT THEY CAN....

A Fellow Blogger saw I wrote this in a Comment and that I share with all of you....
This is what I wrote Late Saturday Night:

NEVER Ever doubt that a Normal Citizen Can HELP...
Here is My Story...Of what I was able to do with a computer and a cellphone during Katrina.....

3 years ago I was living in a Loft in downtown Cleveland when Katrina hit....I felt helpless...so I blogged it- and I saved hundreds of hours of film ..I ended up sending 60 hours of Tape to the UN refugee Committee and calling and sending a report to them as a Nurse- disaster trained....

I also ended up calling Beer and Liquor Distributors and having WATER delivered to the Different shelters in La. and Texas...

And I called Baby Formula Companies to deliver formula and ENSURE....( I worked with a Hospital Social Worker at a Hospital that I got on the phone in Texas...never met her- she was lovely)..

and My Ex and I gathered Medical Supplies and sent them to the VETS for Peace...( including kits to deal with Croc and Snake Bites)....

NORMAL people can give back and help....no one has to feel helpless....we can help our friends, family and neighbors in the South....and in the Gulf.
