Your page and photos are the documentary that we all have been hanging on to from the start. We all wish you the best and support you in your fight for your Mom, Brother, friends and family that have been affected by this event.<BR/><BR/>Stay focused, keep a stiff upper lip and don't worry about the nay sayers. Your work is not something to take lightly and what you have shared with us is just one part of the bigger picture.<BR/><BR/>If you need funds to do more work while on the road documenting, one thing I suggest is opening a PayPal account and setting it up for Donations on this blog and you main site. You will find that a $3.00 donation adds up quickly from your readers and it will most definately add to your ability to continue your Katrina documentation and photo journalism, as well as help your family.<BR/><BR/>One other thought before I go. Instead of needing a grant to document things and help others, start your own grass roots foundationa and get some of the readers and locals involved to start something new. A place for people to come to where there questions can be answered and directed to the help by others. You could even have your mom be one of the people to run it, with her first hand knowledge of the events, she will know what people need and are going through. For the people, by the people. Helping others get through what you already know they are going through.<BR/><BR/>Get that Donate button up and I will make my first post to your fight!Nobody Specialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04400100134510501051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914335.post-1155847431448742372006-08-17T16:43:00.000-04:002006-08-17T16:43:00.000-04:00happy you are still thinking about this area. tha...happy you are still thinking about this area. thank you.Judy Thornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871846865461659183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914335.post-1155572706365545732006-08-14T12:25:00.000-04:002006-08-14T12:25:00.000-04:00ClaytonI'm glad to see your writing again, and tha...Clayton<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see your writing again, and that your family is getting by.
