Aug. 29, 2008:
I know this is a longshot but. . .
My uncle, a photo editor for the new orleans times picayune and native jacksonian just called me. He has a collegue who asked him to help with his situation. His wife is gravely ill and needs daily medical attention, ie blood platelets or something like that. They have been ordered to evacuate to Jackson to continue her treatments during the storm. They have found a place in Richland, but need a place for their two grown daughters, ages 22 and 24 as well as a sister. That’s three people in all.
I wish I could help them, but I have other family evacuating to my house. Do any of you know of someone who can help them? Maybe through a church or another organization? All the hotels are full.
Much thanks in advance,
Heather
