The Pink Shoe Diaries

i really can't wrap my mind around what is going on in Louisiana right now. that amount of devastation is just so beyond me, i can't imagine it happening to real people, right now, as i write this.

but it's true. people have lost their loved ones, their homes, their towns.

each new story i hear gives me a lump in my throat that each time it is harder to swallow.

like this one, about a woman who spent endless hours just trying to get her husband's body to the hospital

in any case, i felt like i had to do something. donate what i could....

and if you want to help these folks out here are some legitimate websites through which you can do so (i got them from Fema.gov)

The Red Cross
Operation Blessing
America's Second Harvest
