We remember
August 29, 2005 - Five Years Later
Katrina.com
was created 12 years ago as as a place where folks could come and get free computer help
and guide them as they choose to design a website for their business or
organization. It then became a refuge and comfort spot where I
created a tribute to my Daddy when he passed
away. It was a place to share, to give
back to neighbors all over the world who were in
need of help.
I just so happened to be named "Katrina" and
this was my personal site ... little did I know that over 15 billion hits
within one day of Hurricane Katrina hitting the coast would come here ...
to learn ... to read ... to find help ... to offer help ... and that this website would be used as such
to be a blessing to thousands of people all over the globe.
On August 29, 2005, this site became
a source of hope and healing for those desperately looking for their loved
ones stranded on rooftops and in attics - a means of survival for those
who lost everything to the worst natural disaster in American History ...
Hurricane Katrina.
We were
offered $500,000 for the name www.katrina.com
- a large charity based organization wanted to take the
funds donated by others to capitalize on a major
disaster - we refused several times - and we continued
to help relocate and rescue over 7,200 families - with
nearly 450 families rescued from rooftops and attics -
we started an ANGEL TREE - and are still working to help
families. You must hear the REST OF THE
STORY!

for everyone.
"Everywhere

recovery isn't so much a recovery, but a
process that has only begun."

Curtis and I have prayed for God's
guidance in the future of this site, and we feel strongly that Hurricane
Katrina has taught many how to love, to give, to appreciate, to bond
together with friends and neighbors all over the world.

Encouragement from those with huge hearts have guided those which disaster
made life never the same again.
