I hope I'm not breaking any rules...I have met a family from New Orleans that has landed in The Colony. I am trying to help with the needs of their 3 children. age 4 girl - size 5, shoe 11; age 8 girl - size 10, shoe 4;and age 11 boy - size 14, shoe 7. If anyone has anything to donate - please respond. I will be the "go-fer".

What can I do next?

L. - I have things that family can use. Our daughters are 5 and 7, and we have a son who is 11.

Most of the clothes will be for the little girl, and we have some that the boy can wear as well. I'm afraid we won't have much for the 8 year old since she is wearing bigger sizes than either of our daughters. The items are very nice and very gently worn. The kids live with us 1/2 time so they don't wear their clothes out before they outgrow them.

We are also currently taking care of our relatives that have relocated here from New Orleans and I know how even in the midst of all the social services going around, it won't be enough and sometimes the proper channels are tough to navigate. I am happy to be able to help a family on a more personal level.

My schedule is a little crazy, as I'm getting married in 9 days and the wedding has become all consuming, but I definitely want to be able to get these clothes to you!

Let me know what arrangements we need to make.

Northwest Bible Church has a "store" set up in their gym where they can get things they might need. Some of the stuff is new and most of it is used. There is a HUGE selection, so I am sure that you will be able to find at least a few things that can get your friends by. Just take your friends with you so that our church can love on them and give them a big hug!

Hi, I just wanted to add (and I hope I'm not breaking any rules either) that I work for a property mgmt co. We have a few apartments available that we have set aside to help out with Katrina victims. We are waiving all application fees and security deposits, giving a 20% employee discount, and accepting FEMA vouchers. If you or anybody else knows of a family looking for a place to live, I have 3 properties in the Carrollton area.

Just want to help if possible. For more info, you can always call me, A., at ###-###-####. This is my work number.
Thank you,

Hi! Good for you. The Keller Springs Baptist Church located on Keller Springs at Midway is acting as a bit of a "relief" center. They have tons of clothing, toys, personal care items, etc for those in need to just come and get. Unfortunately, nobody really knows it so not many people have gone, therefore they still have alot! I only know because my son goes to daycare there. If you want anymore info feel free to call me. ###-###-####. Good luck and God bless.
