This is an email that Kathleen copied me on today. She also copied
ALL of our mutual friends and her friends on this. I think it's
great what she is doing for those people. If you guys have anything
to contribute, I'll see that it gets to the right place, just let me
know.

As for the part she interjected about us, I think it speaks for
itself, especially in the context that it is written. Of all the
things to bring up when asking for help for hurricane victims.
Always remember there are two sides to every story

Subject: Family of 4 evacuees moving in with me

Hello everyone again :) I have a new development and could be called
back to New Orleans any minute now so I am putting the word out now
in case I have to leave soon so here goes!

I have been working all morning on getting a family of 4 that are in
a shelter in Winnie, TX up here to house them in the apt. in the
metal building. It is 2 adults and 2 children and they lost
everything but their car and the clothes on their backs in New
Orleans.

They are currently working with FEMA to get travel/clothing/gas
vouchers at the Beaumont Shelter I worked the last 4 days and are
hoping they can be here on Wedensday or shortly there after. My
concern is I will be sent to New Orleans right around the time they
are getting here and I am gonna need help getting these people
welcomed and settled. Thats where all of you come in if you can :)
Since I spent 96 hours with 3 thousand traumatized refugee's, I can
tell you that simple talk, touching, welcoming and support is the
absolute BEST thing we can do for them and I would like them to have
all of that when I am not here. Of course they are gonna need
clothing/furniture/dishes/stuff and I will need help with that too
but human contact and re-assurance that they are not alone is SO
vitally important I am asking that you help me with that aspect too
if you can swing it. As things develop I will get the info to you
either myself if I am still here or through Ted and Jen if I go back
sooner than later, K?

I wanted all of you to know how gratefull I am for all of your
donations and emotional support during this time. Since Crash broke
my heart and jerked my world out from underneath me, I have been so
sad and devestated that getting through the day has been all I can do
just to get by. It has been one of the saddest and hardest things I
have ever had to go through and it has been pure hell that he did
this to me so cruely and casually. But over the last week or so, all
of you have been so loving, kind, supportive and THERE that I see all
of you in a new perspective and cannot express how GRATEFULL I feel
that I have all of you. It is helping me to heal a little so I can be
there for all of the evacuee's and I wanted you to know that. I
couldn't step up to this plate when I am hurting as bad as I am am
every second of every day without your love so don't believe for a
single second that your contribution is small or inconsequential. You
are providing the inspiration for me to do this so you are all there
with me in spirit. Believe it. It's the truth!

I love all of you,

Kathleen

thanks for the info. She probably sent it to my spambox at
freaks.net, which I never check because it's too full of spam!

It's very nice of her to do that...

I don't think it was too cool to slam you like that, though.

Anyhoo...I'll see ya tonight at dinner, I guess, and we can chat
about this more if you like.

*hugs*

She sent it to me accidentally. She also refused my offered
contributions.

I believe it's ALL about her, not as much about the people she is
helping (although it is still great that she is helping). She has to
save the world in order to gain external validation and feel adequate.
That's my opinion. Same reason she makes me out to be so evil to all
of our friends, her family, etc. etc. We can talk later. It's got me
pretty riled up.
