I have family in the middle of St. Bernard parish, which was devastated. The
Red Cross,
operation usa, Direct Relief, and many others are all working to help the victims. I think that any way that you can help is needed/appreciated, and there is no time to wait.
You can donate directly to the New Orleans chapter of the America Red Cross by clicking

America's Second Harvest is another aid organization that is helping the victims of the hurricane, and they can use every penny you can spare right now.
I have created several small mods so people can easily add a banner to their forum to help hurricane victims. Please look in my sig for links to those Hurricane Banners, and please add the banner to your forum!
There is no time to wait! Every day that passes without the needed help brings those people closer to danger/death!
If you never donated to anything like this before, now is the time for social action! The federal/local governement is doing what they can, but it will not be enough - aid organizations such as Red Cross and the rest are already on the ground helping people directly, and
they can do more with your help.
MODS HERE AT VBULLETIN.ORG: PLEASE ADD A BANNER TO THE FORUM SO PEOPLE HERE CAN DONATE, ALSO!
