Our family is doing everything we can to help all areas, including the Mississippi area. They all need help. We are collecting and sending what we can to these areas. Finding that sometimes the trucks are turned away with supplies, but we are troopers and never give up. Some of our old family homes have been distroyed, but life was spared. (thanks to GOD). As our childrens power has been restored, they are taking their generators and food to the MS Coast. With gas rations, it is not as easy for them to do this because they have to work as well. I applaud you for your effort to help those in need. Hopefully you friend forever Mary Gordon Smith P.S. If you need anything, please let me know. Will be there in a blink of the eye.
