officials in southern louisiana have appealed to any private citizens with a boat to aid in rescue efforts. a bystander said that people with boats have been driving south to aid efforts.
but those of us north of the mason-dixon line and/or those without boats, pay a little visit to the red cross site and donate your lunch/latte money at least, mmmkay? (the site is very slow, which means people are giving money, which is good news). or call 1-800-HELP-NOW.
if my broke ass can give, your broke and not so broke asses can too. i'm not gonna force you, but it's the nice thing to do. make your kindergarten teacher proud.
[note: use the automated phone system if you decide to donate. the website is jammed. if you choose to call, use option "4" rather than "1" - "4" is the hurricane fund. they don't mention it initially.]
