>> I have spoken with the Federation of the Blind people in
>> Louisiana and the stories are as bad as one may imagine.  If
>> those of you can and want to make a donation please send to the
>> address below.
>> I have been assured that the money will go 100% to the
>> families.  Currently the Louisiana Center for the Blind  is
>> caring for 4 dozen       refugees who are blind, every however
>> the Red Cross is bringing people to them as they can, there are
>> blind people who are stranded in parts of the area that the
>> Federation of the Blind people are trying to get to them.  I know
>> that all  kinds of people are stricken in the same way, blind or
>> sighted.  However, this is one organization that you can give to
>> and know that your monetary contribution directly goes to the
>> person.
>> Thank you
