Please Help the Hurricane Victims

All of us have been appalled by the destruction and suffering wrought by hurricane Katrina to the Gulf Coast. We as citizens must aid in any way we can, whether it be sending food or dollars. We urge everyone to donate whatever they are able, bearing in mind that an event such as this, or in a different form, could happen to any of us. The fear remains that the effects of Katrina could well have serious health consequences. The mix of toxic chemicals, household waste, and thousands of other substances will end up in the Gulf of Mexico and will remain in the soil and buildings as well.
