Hi guys. You may know that I live in DeKalb Tx but I am from South Louisiana. I'm not asking for donations or anything...just some info to maybe help my Grandparents. I've mentioned them before...both Vets of WWII. Well, they survived Rita but they also got two trees through their roof...only one small hole through the ceiling though....lots of cleaning to be done and limbs down. The nearest family is 4 hrs away from them and they recieved their own damages but are getting to go and help some...They are now living in the house with a tarp on their roof. They were out of their home for two weeks due to lack of electricity. They lost 3 freezers of meat and fish. They had deer meat and bass and squirrels and sausage and wild boar...Anything hunted and I can't buy at the grocery store. They lost everything foodwise from Salt and flour to all that meat. They had enough meat to live their lives on. How can I go about replacing that? I don't know. Anyway...I'm wondering if perhaps their is special help for Veterans in need...or for the elderly in general? They are both retired and on Social Security. I know she spent the day in line to sign up with FEMA and I know that it was very hard on her to do...both physically and mentally. We gave lots from here after Katrina...so many people are taking donations...but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get them on a list anywhere. Even just to get checked on. Maw will always say they are fine...that's how they are. He has already fallen from the ladder onto the concrete once. He's a stubborn man but a truly good man trying to take care of his business. So, please don't get me wrong, I'm not soliciting anything from ya'll.....Just wondering if you had any ideas to share. Jerri in De Kalb
