hey...I have a solution....
Let's get Jimmy Carter and his posse to rebuild.
The email I received from Habitat for Humanity:
Dear Habitat OC Volunteers and Supporters:
I am writing to let you know how your Orange County affiliate is
supporting Habitat for Humanity International's efforts to rebuild
homes lost during the recent Hurricane Katrina.
* Donations
We are accepting donations locally for Habitat's Hurricane
Katrina's rebuilding fund, to help Habitat families and other
low-income families in the affected areas recover and rebuild.
All of the donations made to the Orange County affiliate will
be sent to Habitat International to help with this emergency
appeal. To make a donation:
* Online: please visit our Web site
http://hfh.z2c.net/ad/ck/1291-31894-7441-2?m=1-8&e=526c16f95972
and click on the "make a donation" button.
* Check: please send your check to Habitat for Humanity of
Orange County, 2200 S. Ritchey Street, Santa Ana, CA 92705,
and note on your check that it is for "Hurricane Katrina
Rebuilding."
* Operation Home Delivery
We hope to involve our local OC volunteers in helping to create
the "Home in a Box" kits that are part of Habitat's "Operation
Home Delivery." These kits will be sent to the Gulf Coast to
speed up the rebuilding efforts for families in the area.
Please keep checking our Web site for more information about that.
When conditions allow, Habitat's Disaster and Emergency Services unit
will dispatch teams to check on Habitat families who lived in the
storm's destructive path and others. Team members will move quickly to
provide whatever immediate assistance they can, then begin to plan for
short- and long-term assistance for Habitat partner families, volunteers
and Habitat affiliates in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida
impacted by the storm.
Our hearts go out to all of the families who lost their homes as a result
of Hurricane Katrina. Shelters can only meet their immediate needs.
Long after the emergency assistance workers have gone home, Habitat will
be at work rebuilding lives and communities.
Thank you for your support of the Hurricane Katrina rebuilding efforts.
Thank you also for your continued support of our work right here in
Orange County as we move forward to build homes for our own OC families
in Cypress, and as we prepare to begin construction on one home for a
family in Huntington Beach.
On behalf of our 112 Habitat families, thank you for your volunteer
service, and for your continued support of Habitat for Humanity of
Orange County.
