I'm your neighbor, Mary Washington. My friend of 25 years (Sandra) lives in NYC
and has personal knowledge of 2 large extended families whom have lost
everything in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. <SPAN

<st1:State w:st="on">Arkansas</st1:State>, <st1:State

and <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Texas</st1:place></st1:State> and
are dependent upon their 2 respective kin with a permanent address.<SPAN

have asked us to help them provide for the IMMEDIATE and ongoing needs of
clothing, toiletries, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, lotions, sanitary
napkin/tampons, twin size bed sheets and other toiletries of their
relatives. Gift cards are also suggested so that they can purchase what
they need.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></P>
