Lodging is not provided. Bring sleeping bags - probably sleeping in a shelter. - Sep 3, '05 by DutchgirlRNQuote from brianThank you for this great idea! I have been wanting to donate through PayPal but the Red Cross no longer had the link. I love the idea that we can donate one large amount as a group. I have made my donation. Please let us know what the total turns out to be. Thanks Brian and God Bless You.Please discuss the following announcement in this thread.

Sep 3, '05 by barbiedeeThanks so much for setting this account up. I am Canadian and couldn't think of a way to donate or help, so this was a welcome solution. Of course, my heart goes out to those affected, those with loved ones who are affected, and those valiant people doing their best to help. God bless you all. -
Sep 3, '05 by Princess74I made a donation, I wish it could have been more. Thanks Brian and Staff for setting this up for us. -
- Sep 4, '05 by rntravelerIs there anyone out there in Austin or elsewhere who could receive and deliver a pkg for me? I would like to make up bags of small items for the children who are separated from their parents or who are living with their family in a shelter. I would have a sturdy tote bag filled with a soft,small blanket, a small stuffed toy,fruit snacks,teddy grahams,wash cloth,towel,toothbrush,soap,shampoo,matchbox car or Barbie doll and a book. I want to provide some comfort to these children,but do not want to try to send it through an organization as it takes too long to get there. I know there are many children in Baton Rouge and elswhere who are in the same situation. i do not have a lot of these,perhaps only a dozen,but perhaps it would make a difference for them. I hope it would make them feel comforted and hopeful for the future. RNTraveler
