Moyamoya Families Affected by Katrina...
Aug 31^st, 2005 at 12:39pm

...I just wanted to send a special message to all of our MM family that was affected by hurricane Katrina that we are thinking of them and send special prayers and blessings their way...

The devastation we see on the news is heartwrenching...but we know that there is nothing that is given to us that we cannot handle. I know it may seem easier said than done, especially when not in your shoes...but as with MM, which statics show affect about 1 in 2 million, stay strong, keep the faith and continue to endure... We're thinking of you! Wink

Our

s and prayers are with you...

Take care,
Shan

**Update**

Just wanted to let you know that we finally were able to get in contact with family members in Missisippi today! I called the hospital where my mother-in-law works, and was able to get through! She did advise me that they are without any electricity or phones (including cell phones) at their homes, but none-the-less, they are alive! She also told us that the Red Cross did locate our other family members in New Orleans that we were not able to previously locate. Evidently, they are staying in a church. Not under the best conditions, but none-the-less, glad to be alive!

AMEN!

We will continue to keep everyone affected by Katrina in our prayers and hope that they may all be blessed with the things they stand in need of...

Take care,
Shan

Shan,

Glad to hear your family is doing well. I have a friend in Miss. that I was worried about, but he is safe and far enough away from the brunt of the storm to have been one of the lucky ones.

I really feel for all the people that are now homeless and in states they were never in before. Losing everything you have has to be hard enough and to be put miles away from everything and everyone you know has to be even harder.

I have seen pictures of mothers reunited with their children too. Just thinking what those mothers went thru makes MM seem a tad bit kinder. I have been Thanking God that Tyler is doing so well, I couldn't imagine being seperated from him not knowing what happened to him.

I will keep all those families in my prayers.

Shan,

It has to be a tremendous relief for you now that you have located family members. Although they may be in a church, you are right in that they are alive.

A bus left Columbus, Ohio today to rescue 6 homeless families from New Orleans. They will bring the families back to Ohio and give them housing, food and jobs. There are already families here that were rescued by church members and living with church families. Although these families have lost everything, including some family members and have left the only home they ever knew, they are extremely grateful and have said they are looking forward to re-building their lives. Some have said that although New Orleans has been their home since they can remember, they said they wouldn't want to go back because it is too painful and they couldn't go through this again. Perhaps someday they will return to New Orleans.

We continue to support New Orleans relief efforts and continue to pray for the hurricane victims and their families.

Hugs,

Lore

Janice-- Bless your Smiley

for your donation. I saw Celine Dion on tv the other night shedding tears as well as anger during her interview as she too made a donation, and I believe made a call out to others in the entertainment industry to join her in making a donation to help the victims of Katrina. It still seems so "unreal" to me at times that this is all taking place right here...in our homeland!

Rena--As a mother myself, I too can't even bear the thought of being separated from my child and not knowing where he is! Besides the physical necessities like food and water, I feel these victims also need spriritual, psychological and emotional support to help them deal with all that they have been faced with. Smiley

The shooting of rescue workers is unbelievable, but some may be feeling that..."desperate times calls for desperate measures." I just pray for peace and some type of order as soon as possible. I'm hoping that as the victims receive the aid and support they need, things will hopefully "calm" down.

Lore--Amen to Ohio! Wink

Much blessings to those who have come to their aid! Smiley

Take care,
Shan
