Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Hi,

The other day I was eating my morning soup out of a cup I bought at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans in 2001 while attending Mardi Gras. I was showing the cup to my oldest daughter and started to explain about Hurricane Katrina and how despite it Cafe Du Monde was still there.

It seems that what really made an impression on her, though, was when I explained about the levees breaking and flooding the city and all of the people who lost their homes. Later that day she was at her Granny's house. They were working on the second installment of a book series my daughter is writing that her Granny "sells" at work for money. Well, my dd told her Granny that this time she wanted to send some of the money to the people hurt by Hurricane Katrina.

So I didn't know if there was anyone in that Gulf area (or anyone else) who knew of a good charity that would put good use to a very small donation. I was thinking maybe something that involved kids. A year ago they were collecting playground equipment to send to community centers in that area.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
