Hurricane Katrina victims need your help!

Often times, life passes me by and rarely do I stop to appreciate what I have. A home to come back to at the end of the day, having food and water, clothes to wear, the basic necessities of life. My alma mater is Tulane University, I lived in New Orleans for 4 years while I studied at Tulane. Its an unique city, Mardi Gras rocks, cajun food rocks. I was hoping to visit next year with my wife, but never thought that New Orleans may not be there to visit anymore.

The devastation that Hurricane Katrina left behind has now been called the "greatest natural disaster in US history". There may be up to a million who are homeless, thousands feared dead. Those fortunate enough to survive must literally rebuild their lives from nothing; start over.

When the tsunami happened, I felt sorry for the victims, but the event was literally across the globe. It never impacted me personally as much as what Katrina left in its wake. It hits home very hard to see New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region submerged and places that I've been to destroyed. The human suffering is unfathomable. This is our tsunami.

Please contribute what you can to this relief effort and pray for all the victims of Katrina, those that are dead and those who survived as they must now find a way to move on.
