of my Experience: Well we lost everything in
hurricane Katrina and Rita. We relocated to Southaven ms.
My husbands job just transferred us home to Chalmette Louisiana. We
had only two weeks to pack find a place and move. Rent
here is HORRIBLE!!!!! We went from paying 350 when we
lived here before the hurricane to paying 650 in Southaven
ms NOW paying 800! and that was one of the cheapest places
to move into... So all the money we had saved had to go to
the move. The rental truck we had to pay last months first
months AND a deposit. We just moved back a month ago and I
lost my income due to the move. we only have one car here
and there is no public transportation here so I am home
bound with our 4 year old daughter. My husband is looking
for a second job and I am trying to find children in the
area to watch but not having much luck with either... We
are barley paying bills right now and bills are stacking
up again... My daughter who is 4 is growing like a weed
and most of her clothing is getting tight and right now we
just cant buy any more for her. Also we need help with
food if at all possible we only have two stores here and
they are not cheap... the nearest Wal-Mart is a good ways
a way from us and since we only have one car it is hard to
get to it. just seems as soon as we think we are getting
on our feet we are being knocked back down. its wearing us
out we are just getting so tired.
Items Needed:
clothing for 4 year old daughter and food |

of my Experience: We lost everything like most
people from Katrina. As most of you know St. Bernard
Parish was one of the Hardest Hit Areas. Our house was
under 25 feet of water for two weeks (see photos at
Katrina.com) as you can guess there was nothing left to
salvage. Not even a photo! Since then we have moved about
90 miles away to Baton Rouge, La in a small two bedroom
apartment. We are very grateful! Its been a very slow
recovery and we still have a long way to go. I am employed
and commute to New Orleans everyday 180 miles roundtrip,
but I am working. Its just not enough! I picked up a
second job to provide for my children, and some nights I don't
sleep because of work. The State and Federal Government
HAS NOT helped because we were renting and not owners of
the house. There are no programs for renters. So at this
point I am in debt and anything will help our family. Last
year because of the volume of people on the Angel Tree we
were not adopted but are hoping that will change this
year. Thank You and God Bless All of us!
Items Needed: I've
learned the best thing to receive is Gift Cards from anywhere
but the best places are like Wal-Mart and Target because
they have everything from Gas for the vehicle to food. But
clothes, shoes or light jackets for the fast not to cold
winter we have here.
Additional Comments:
This is our third year, we were adopted the 1st year but
not last year. I hope we are this year! Thanks Katrina! |

Details
of my Experience: I was watching TV and playing
games on the internet w/my daughter. Boys were running
wild round the house as usual. My husband was working
preparing for the storm that 'will not hit here'. My
friend, Karen, kept calling me. All I could think was for
her to LEAVE ME ALONE!! She wanted me to pack up and
evacuate with her. Told her 'no' every time she called.
She was beginning to irritate me pretty badly. I knew that
storm was not headed our way. I knew!! It was not only
going to hit TX but was going to lose all the strength
that it had accumulated. Then she showed up at our
house.......She packed up my trunk with whatever food
items she could find in there and 2 outfits for my kids -
while I was watching TV - my gosh would they stop talking
bout that storm at put on some type of program - it is not
coming here! I was pregnant and irritated. So when she
finished packing up the car she began asking where my
husband was - she drove to his employment and asked what
he needed to do to finish up to be able to leave. Then proceeded
to help him do so. We were on the road by noon. The
traffic was awful - the air went out. We ended up in North
Alabama - we found 1 available motel room but the lady
wouldn't give it to us because there 'was not enough room
in there' for all of us. We ended up in a rest area -
guess there was more room in that little we came in than
the room we had previously found. Who knows. We slept in
the car for two days. Then decided to go back. We had
already heard of all the destruction that Katrina made -
you know the one that didn't hit the MS Gulf Coast. When
we arrived back on the coast we couldn't even determine
what streets to use. The ones that were drivable we
couldn't recognize. I had lived there for over 10 yrs and
my husband 15yrs. We knew those streets like the back of
our hand. We went to Karen's house first - had some damage
but not too bad. A tree fell on her house but didn't make
it all the way through her attic. The we set out to find
our own. We drove in the

of my Experience: My husband and I were in the
attic of our apt. at the time of hurricane Katrina with
water up to our necks for several hours. We lost
everything we owned, including our car. After spending
several days in a shelter, my husband and i hitch-hiked to
Glasgow Ky. We did receive help thru fema, but we were
unable to apply for help for a car because the title was
in the car under water.
Items Needed: We need
a car for my husband to get back and forth from work. Also
I have not been to a doctor for my health problems since
the end of March. My sister and her husband was helping us
get around, until her husbands sister had emergency
surgery. My husband is currently riding a bike for almost
6 miles to and from work. because of my back, I am unable
to get around much. We also need a little help with food,
for my husband will not be receiving a pay check for
2weeks.
Additional Comments:
I normally do not ask for help, but we're in between a
rock and a hard place now. We are paying 525. a month
rent, and my SSI is only 398. per month. |

inspector from fema came out he told me it was unlivable
and demolished but filed a different report and they told
me I had insufficient damages so they didn't give me a
camper or put me up in a trailer. We have bounced around
living with friends and family for a while now we got on
our feet in a bad neighborhood but there was mold growing
in that trailer we told our landlord and he was going to
take care of it but then he passed away so we got evicted
when his brother took over now we are living with my fiancées
parents and his siblings there are 12 people living in a 4
bedroom house so we sleep in their camper at night so we
can have a bed for each person we love each other but its
cramped and we're starting to annoy each other a lot
Howard is trying but he only makes 300.00 a week an we
give his parents 800.00 a month to help with the bills and
that leaves us with 400.00 a month to pay our bills and we
don't even have a running vehicle he has to catch a ride

of my Experience: I worked for the New Orleans
Police Department as a clerical worker and was advise of
my time to evacuate. I followed orders from my supervisor
but really didn't want to evacuate and evacuated to
Buffalo, Texas where I learned that my place of resident
had 15ft of water. To make a long story short I have two
kids and didn't know how to explain to them that our house
had been completely destroyed and we had nowhere to go.
But the look on my face just told it all. Once my son ask
a question of when can we go home with tears in my eyes I
answered baby we have no home. I just cried and held my
kids tight wondering what in the world just happen. where
am I to start and what to do. I gotten a phone call from
my ex in law stating that she has an apartment and they
were taking more applicants. Mind you I have no money, no
job, and my husband at the time sent me off with my kids
and his dad with nothing but three days of clothing. my
father in law at the time drove us to Dallas where we
started our lives over. Now I went to Housing Authority of
Dallas and they issued me a section 8 voucher and was able
to get the apartment. 3 months later fema finally awarded
me with 10 thousand dollars, which was a blessing but a
that time of need no money when you have to furnish a
house a buy everything from q tips to furniture. I was
broke. within that time frame I am job hunting no one
wants to hire me because I was from New Orleans and they
thought I might have moved back home. But finally a temp
agency called me. I finally gotten a job after 1 year of
searching thru a temp agency and couldn't believe it with
all the clerical experience i have. struggling with making
only 600 monthly going thru a divorce, and with my mom
passing the same year as the hurricane it. I was demanding
to stay strong and focus. Now i am working permanently for
Dallas county making a little more but still struggling.
My kids father pay child support thru the courts but of
course raising two kids without the father support they
need is really hard to keep going.

of my Experience: Katrina was not a great
experience. The devastation of returning home...at least
to what you remembered as home is disheartening. I
don't have many words but to say that we are thankful to
be alive and that we continue to pray everyday and take it
one day at a time. Some folks have forgotten about
Katrina and the fact that we still need help.
Items Needed: We have
some clothing......would like some better clothing. We are
appreciative for any help we can get. We are in need of
clothing, cookware, bath towels and toiletries.

Details
of my Experience: My daughter and I left the day
before the hurricane. Not thinking it would hit, because
of so many close calls before. This time was the real
deal. The day of our leaving my neighbor asked me to take
her son, not sure how we were going to make it, I decided
to take the young man with us to bring him out to safety.
We travel for 12 hours on the road for a trip that would
normally take us 2 1/2 hours to get there.
Not sure if we were going to run
out of gas, or be able to purchase food we took that
chance. Any other time traveling to Lake Charles would
take one tank of gas, but because of the length of time we
filled up about 4 times. The skies were turning dark and
the rain had started before we get got to Baton Rouge. Not
wanting to turn on the AC because of the shortage of gas,
we got wet for a few minutes. When it started to rain
harder, I had no choice but to roll the windows up and
turn on the AC. We finally got to Baton Rouge, I knew the
kids were tired, I informed them that we had to press on.
We stop out side Baton Rouge for a quick strength of the
body, for being cramped in the car all those hours.
We finally arrived in Lake
Charles. After being there for a couple of days we heard
of the Levee breakage after Katrina had hit New Orleans. I
knew that I lived in that area and that my home would have
been flooded out. I stayed there for a few days, and then
drove to Houston Texas to find help because no one was
giving any assistance to Hurricane Katrina Victims.
Driving all over Texas, we were turned down due to no
rooms at the hotels or inns, we traveled back to Lake
Charles.
I went back by my friend's home,
but we moved into the Baymont Hotel in Lake Charles. Red
Cross sent me a check, I cashed it and purchased some
things we needed to have right then and there. I was
purchasing for myself, my daughter and the family friend
that came with us. I knew the money was not going to go
far, but we managed with what we had.
We were notified by the hotel
management that we had to evacuate again, because of
Hurricane Rita. We lost it all again...so we had double
trouble....and now we are on the road again with no where
to go. We traveled to Mississippi and found a room, but by
now I had my son and his room mate from McNeese
University...so now we had 5 people in one room. We had to
purchase air mattress for us to sleep while the boys made
pallets on the floor. We had 4 different families living
in a 3 bedroom house with one bath. I cried so
much....because I just knew my life was over, and that I
was not a good supplier for my kids at this time. I called
FEMA and to my surprise they deposited some money in my
account...and I went out to try and find an hotel that
would be more comfortable for us.
Well, after staying there for
several weeks, we traveled to Baton Rouge to see if we
could get closer to family...with the hotels prices out of
control....we were stuck between a rock and an hard place.
Determined to find a hotel for me and the kids...I got up
early daily and with determination...I found one at the
Executive Plaza in Mississippi. It felt like heaven....and
no one would understand the way we felt. My son's college
buddies contacted his parents and they were safe, and
drove out to pick up their son. Still with another member,
he contacted his family and they came got him also. So now
it is just the kids and I, and I informed my kids that we
will recover from this...just be patient. I really don't
know why I was telling them that...because they were my
inspiration to keep me going through out all this ordeal.
Items Needed: I was
able to purchase a bedroom set for my daughter and I. We
now have a living room and dining room set. If we are able
to receive help I would like it to be in a financial gift,
so that we are not limited to specific items.
Additional Comments:
I would like to take this time to thank you in advance for
all the help you are giving me and my daughter and other
victims. This is my first time applying, because I always
thought that there was always someone worst off than
me...but after losing everything in both hurricanes, I
feel the need also to be helped. Thank you!!!! |

Katrina and lost everything. But because Of the storm I
became homeless and was given the opportunity to buy a
house but the house is in very bad condition and I was
working to jobs to get on my feet and to make a place for
me and my youngest daughter. I recently got sick and had
to have an emergency hysterectomy. So I lost one job due
to the fact that I did not work there long enough to get
sick time and my other job does not have short term
disability. At this time I was getting back on tract and
now everything has went down hill again due to me being
sick. If there is any way that someone could help me and
my daughter out it would be greatly appreciated it. We are
