I can't just send a check and pray. Maybe that says something about my trust in God and Goverment or maybe I believe I'm not alone in wanting to act.
I've sent this letter to our Mayor, local news groups and radio stations and the Salvation Army itself. If I don't hear back by Monday I'll start contacting hotels myself Tuesday. I'll walk into Red Cross and Salvavtion Army and ask them if they will help if we can get people here.
Dear Mayor Gordon,
The victims of Hurricane Katrina are going to need long term shelter. The ones who have nothing to go back to will need an address, beds, showers, privacy, access to communication, schooling for children, jobs for adults.
Could we (the people of Phoenix) ask the 250 + area hotels and resorts to each donate a room or two for long term shelter and set up a fund through Salvation Army, or any worthy charity, to be used specifically for living expenses of transplanted hurricane victims here in Phoenix until these people are once again self sufficient?
If cities across America did this we could be one step closer to helping these victims heal and get back on their feet.
Thank you for your time,
XXXXX
