The Katrina Project

Born from a trip made the week after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf coast, this Blog represents ongoing efforts to make a difference in the many communities destroyed but not forgotten in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Each of us can make a difference!

The need to do something...



When I began my road trip to deliver relief supplies to the Mississippi coast, I had no specific destination in mind. Trusting God to lead me to the place of his/her choosing, I set out on a 9 day journey that changed the way I see the world. The daily logs I've posted are journal entries I made to a listserve I subscribe to for my Sorority sisters- Phi Mu. They followed my travels in my daily journal, encouraged me, fed and housed me for much of my trip. To them I owe more than I will ever be able to repay.
State Farm agents and associates in the New Jersey area donated relief supplies to make the trip worthwhile for those in need. They are my friends, a wonderful group of caring people to whom I owe a deep debt of gratitude. And to the many people I have met and continue to meet on this journey I call " The Katrina Project", I say thank you for giving of yourselves to make a difference for others. In the end it will take all of us...every one of us...to help bring back the people we have seen struggle in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. By each of us doing something...the kindness and generosity of even the simplest gesture will change the world.
