yettia1031 1 Posted August 29, 2008 Ya'll please keep my city, New Orleans, in your prayers. I am not sure if we can handle another blow. This is ridiculous, seriously. I was watching the news last night and it showed a lady who had just moved back into her home since Hurricane Katrina, and now she is preparing to evacuate due to that F:cursing: Gustav. Well I will be evacuating with my job, The American Red Cross. Please pray for us that this blows over and misses us. Thanks ya'll!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieNP 20 Posted August 30, 2008 I fell in love with New Orleans last year. My daughter had done some volunteer work right after Katrina, and we decided to go and tour the city last summer. We were saddened that there are many places that are still affected by Katrina. The Big Easy will be in our prayers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yettia1031 1 Posted August 31, 2008 Hey guys! just wanted to udate ya'll. I have evacuated to a city outside of New Orleans. I am in a shelter with my job. Well the mood here is well ummm, there is not much mood here. I am with a lot of volunteers from across the country and they are so stoked to be here, I don't understand why. Honestly I am here because I need my job. I hated the fact that I had to send my 5 year old daughter to my sister's in Dallas, Tx. I really wanted to get the He** out of Louisiana. But I am stuck in between a rock and a hard place. Stay here and ride out the storm or evacuate to Tx and loose my job. :cursing::cursing: This is not an easy task , but I gotta do what I gotta do.

We lost power in the shelter on Monday, and we lived in the heat until yesterday. I just want to thank ya'll for all your prayers and support. I am so glad that it is over. Praise God.
