Keep your fingers crossed that it's not an on-coming train...


Aloha again. This is Lisa, with a quick update. Dez has almost got her mom moved in and settled, there's just one last load of odds n ends to go. Clare is busy unpacking and meeting her new neighbors. Dez will hopefully be back to post soon. The light at the end of the tunnel seems to be a completed move, and many fewer hassles for the moment. We just hope the trouble train isn't showing up again.

In the meantime, she's asked me to remind you that donations of hats, scarves and similar warm items are being accepted and very welcomed as part of Warm Up New Orleans. Yes, people are still living in draft trailers and unrepaired houses after Hurricane Katrina. Covenant House, which helps homeless teens will be the primary recipient of these items.

Dez will provide specifics soon, but this post goes out as a reminder and request for your ongoing help.

Aloha,
