Hi Estella: Thanks for your email..My kids are hoping to get a large RV so they can be close to home. Many fundraisers are going on here in San Diego, too..Tragedy is bringing the nation together once again. As an asside: A local oil millionaire is has arranged for several hundred to be airlifted from NO to San Diego on private jets. 80 of the evacuatees are staying in a 5-star hotel downtown and Mr. Millionaire is taking them shopping for new clothes. Apparently, the damage to my kids home is only one of the hurdles they will have to overcome. Apparently, Allstate's computers have lost all of the claims information and claim # they provided on Thursday. So right the kids are driving 180 miles to Biloxi. to hopefully meet with Allstate claims reps there. I'm hoping that the roads are clear and that it is a safe drive. They have heard reports that there are gangs of thugs along the roadways attempting to highjack vehicles.

Hi Shirley, As we speak another RV is being loaded with food and will be on it's way down to help the people in the Hurricane Area. Watching the TV really makes my heart ache for those poor people who lost so much. It will take a long time to get things back to order. I see on TV this morning that they are going to take out the balance of the people by force if necessary. It is a shame that the government has to use force to get those people out in order to save their lives. The people forget about all of the disease that will run ramped throughout that area and when there is no way out then what will they do??? Our thoughts and prayers are with the people down there and I have added your family to my prayers. I have to go now.
