Everyone please read!

Hello all! I am writing to you tonight as I sit in my comfortable house with all my wordly possesions and I look around and think just how lucky I am and most people reading this are. If you have been on OH a while you may remember Karen Barrett. She is a single Mom of 4 boys that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, she has lost everything. She is one of hundreds of thousands that seem to be caught up in the nightmare of trying to find some help. If you google search her name with Hurricane Katrina in it you will see she was even put in a newspaper article! Take a look at her profile: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=B1076028225 I am writing to you people tonight to see if we long time, not so long time and wanna be losers can band together and help a WLS sister in her time of need! I myself am going to email all my local support groups and ask them to kick in. Please email me and let me know if you are interested in helping out. I will gladly get you Karen's direct email address. Thank you all so much in advance! Lori laprny 1-6-04 222/135 Plastics 12-14-04

I would like to help, but currently we are evacuees from Hurricane Rita. We were helping the evacuees from Katrina until we all had to flee. We are upland in MS, and have told that we may not be able to go home until November 15. I guess it is safe to say that I will just be hanging in there until then. Good luck to everyone until then. Maybe the hurricanes will leave us alone and maybe the fire in CA will be the only one for awhile.. best wishes to all.
