like i said many groups are helping and yes, every bit
helps. i do not know what every group is doing is why
i said what i know our (the calvery chapels of which i
am a member) churches are doing. i do not know nearly
the details of what everyone else is doing even though
i have friends in other organizations and do know they
are helping. since you and mag posted, i now know a
little more about what your groups are doing and i
think what mike's group of churches are doing. all the
pieces will come together and the puzzel will be a
pichure of rebuilt gulf coast.
also on the otherhand i have already heard of a few
scams and of a couple of folk claiming that a family
member died and trying to collect life insurance when
their family member was not dead and they knew it.
the best and the worst.
