Questionnaire

Contact me with questions at: KatrinaCoalition@aol.com I registered this project as part of the Make A Difference Day campaign. Since I continue to receive emails from both organizations and citizens regarding little money is trickling down to the survivors' level, I feel this is very important. Most people want to help someONE, not something. This site gives them the opportunity to do just that - help someONE.
Information for Individuals I will send you the links of your post, so the information can be edited as needed. I will leave the information of each family up as long as I receive 2 updates a month. I am willing to post up to 3 current pictures (I'll touch them up and resize if needed) and will rotate pictures as new ones become available.
Information For Agencies I know many agencies work with families who are struggling to find the money for their daily living and recovery efforts. I am willing to highlight up to 1 family a week from each organization who contacts me - leaving the information of each family up under the same guidelines as above. You will also be able to send this link to your reader/volunteer base so they can follow the information with less effort on your part.
Please copy and paste the following into an email and answer as briefly, but as completely as possible. I have vertigo, so reading is a challenge!
