Let's help out
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2005 8:21 am
Ok I am starting up a fund raiser. I will be collecting any kind of help for the victims of Katrina. From reef keeping, personal, to financial. Anyone who wants to help with time and effort let me know, and anyone wanting to donate in any way let know also. Let's pull together and help. Here is what I posted on RC explaining in more depth.
I live here Alabama, I was one of the lucky ones that did not loose my tank to this or the last several storms because of the kindness of another reef keeper. They allowed us to use their generator because they HAD to leave the area. Because of their kindness, my tank made it, but everything in their tank is RTNing due to heat. I am battling with feelings of joy for my tanks survival, but yet extreme guilt for the joy, because of their lose.
I am pleased to say that my daughter and son- n- law from New Orleans managed to escape the day after the storm. He brought all the coral he could to save. YES they Still care about the lives of these corals they cared for day after day. To those who lost everything they and we will be donating corals to. sb1227 you will be my first to help. I would not be able to if it weren't for you generosity with the generator.
G_cuvier that is such an admirable thing you are attempting to do. For those that still have faith in mankind, anyone who wishes to send donations of items for reef keeping, personal needs, to financial, and do not know where to send to. I will be gathering items from around our areas that did not get hit, as well as those that did and just wish to leave the hobby, or find themselves wanting to help out others in any way. I will personally make sure that those that truly need such items or donations get it.
My info is as follows:

Come on folks, instead of finding fault in mankind, let's pull together and help.
