Hope: Lost & Found
THOUSANDS of families in the Gulf Coast remain homeless and “temporarily” housed
in tents and trailers while awaiting insurance claims to be answered and their
homes and communities to be rebuilt. There is an immediate and desperate need
for coats and winter clothing to help them bundle up and weather the winter
season already upon them.
Waveland, Mississippi, was one of the hardest hit
cities in the area leveled by a 37-foot wave surge generated by Hurricane Katrina.
The Spirit of a Child Foundation is one of several non-profit organizations
who have focused their relief efforts in Waveland, and while delivering basic
necessities on Thanksgiving, were made aware of this imperative need. In honor
of the Spirit of a Child Foundation, I am asking for your help and it’s
as easy as A-B-C!
