Let's Help Louisiana

Catastrophic is one word I'd use to describe the Louisiana flood.  As the CNN report states; 60,000 homes damaged, 6.9 trillion gallons of rainfall in one week, $30 million in estimated cost and the most tragic are the many lives lost.  There is controversy over whether political figures visited the devastation untimely or planned later arrivals to allow rescue crews to perform without interference.  Whatever the case, Louisiana has been declared a state of emergency and tax relief is in place for the flooding victims.

Help is needed in a great way.  Many families are in need of support from Americans across our Nation.  If you want to help, monetary donations are welcome.  Send cash donations to trusted organizations such as:
