With no where to go.
Sitting at gas stations, rest stops, store fronts...
Moves me to tears when I walk past these men women and children. The helpless look in there eyes rips at my heart.
Yesterday at a gas station there were what seemed to be a family of vehicles just sitting around. Kids asking for food and overhearing that they didn't have much more money and that they would have to wait til later. It took everything in my power to not go and hand them some money. I knew it wasn't safe though I don't know how desperate they were or if I would be mobbed by the surronding cars wanting help to.
I wake every morning with the news and each day the desperation grows. Though I and my family were not affected by Katrina we as a Nation are emotionally affected by her aftermath.
I see pictures of the dead on the streets and think someone somewhere is looking for their child, Mother or Father.
They are still trying to get the thousands of people out of there and don't know how long it will take. I heard the Mayor this morning in a rage saying "why are they sending school buses? Get every damn Grey Hound In the Country and Send them to us, People are dying here."
I will be volunteering my services this weekend to the surronding Churches and My Church that will be housing these evacuees. I also strongly urge anyone that can, to do the same either by making a small donation or giving a little of your time.
