Another plea from me to you: please help the NOLA victims of Katrina and Rita!

Hello everyone...

Look! I'm using my very best sentence structure and caps. This must be important.

I've recently made contact with Jason, one of many college students who put their educations on hold to help out in New Orleans.

Jason has been working with a small organization of college students associated with The Little Blue House.

Jason requested more toothpaste/tooth brushes for the people in NOLA. We were able to send $30 worth the first time. We're ready to ship another $30 worth. But there are just so many teeth we can afford to brush. Can you help?

It was Hurricane Floyd that took its wrath on us here where we live. Fortunately, three different insurance companies showed up quickly to assess the damage. Homeowners, Boat, and FEMA promptly came and helped us. Nevertheless, it was a traumatic experience.

We've promised to send as many sets of toothpaste/brushes we could afford; we are appealing to you for help.

Please do what you can. It will be greatly appreciated.
