Lori Thanks you so much for your concern. Me and my family are fine we just got power back yesterday and just got the internet today. My town was not hit as hard as other we have our damage but we will be fine. I'm working with my husband to set up a shelter through his work. I won't be around much as I will be doing the cooking for the shelter. And I know it will take alot of time. I will also be getting together supplies as well. So I fine and like I said thank you so much for your concerns. Hope all is well with you and yours. Lovingly, Tina

OK GREAT SWEETIE, GLAD TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP OUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN NEED. WE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES IN OUR PRAYERS. GOD BLESS, LORI

Tina, I'm in Denham now I've been calling it Baton Rouge for others who don't know the ins and outs of the rural areas... but we're right off Juban and Florida I would love to get to meet you if we can find time. Kat

I would love to meet up with you as well. I'm in the process of setting up a drive to receive supplies from folks from everywhere. And plan on distributing them to shelters. So email me and we can possible set something up soon. Glad your doing okay. Tina

Tina-- Can you please give us the mailing address of your shelter and tell us what members can do to help you in way of food, clothing, money, etc? OH is in the process of trying to act as a communication outlet to find out what bariatric patients may need in your area. If you want to email me directly my address is [email protected]. We are all very concerned about our Louisiana neighbors. Ronda Einbinder Public Relations Manager Obesityhelp

I am not where Tina is, but there is a shelter in Lake Charles that is housing victims from New Orleans. It is the Lake Charles Civic Center on Lakeshore Drive, Lake Charles, La 70601. If you mark the box ----- Items for Katrina Storm Victims, the post office should be more than happy to drop it off with the Red Cross there. The addresss for the American Red Cross office in Lake Charles is: American Red Cross 3512 Kirkman St. Lake Charles, La 70607 I would mark the outside of the box....... supplies for Katrina Storm Victims. We have been taking things straight to the civic center because it was announced on tv that items could be dropped off there. So people drive up and drop off and the workers haul things inside as fast as they can. We went at midnight when my daughter got off work, and they were hauling jugs of water inside.

People we know from the N.O. area went to stay with relatives in Denham Springs............ they were without power, but otherwise ship shape there according to their emails....... evidently not everyone in Denham springs is without power either.
