I''m working on dial-up so I will keep this short as I have been having problems with DSL for about a week or so (and haven''t been on the forum for about 1.5 weeks). As I am on dial-up I have not taken the time to read the other post (I aslo have a slow dial-up connection).
How best to help?
It is obvious to me that a lot of people will be relocating and starting over.
So...
Here is my offer: Anyone from the Katrina affected area who is looking for a place to stay while they start over, and who meets some simple requirments that I have - is free to stay at my place while you start over.
I do not have room for many. 1 or 2, perhaps with a child.
I live a basic lifestyle, and do not have a lot of furnature.
I have asthma and food allergies: No smooking, and the house is "allergy" free with 7 large HEPA air filters scattered throughout it. Actually perfect for someone else with allergies.
You get a bedroom with a bed, you can use the other bathroom. There is a 3rd bed room that I use for my office that could be converted for another if needed.
Biggest issue: Are you a positive attitude person and a bulider willing to take responsibility for your life. I, like all, have my faults and issues; but you will need to be people who take responsbilty for building your life - and not depend on the government to fix everything.
I have a small largly internet based side business. Someone else who is running a similar business would be welcome (as long as you understand that there is pleanty of room for all the legitimate oportunities).
I am not planning to provide much other financial assistance - largly because I don''t have much room in my budget at this time. But I can provide the use of the extra rooms in a small house in a nice neighborhood in NE Wisconsin (utilities included).
I understand that it will take months - and perhaps even years - for you to regain a normal life.
If anyone is inerested, or anyone knows of someone who is interested, please PM and email me. We can set up a phone call to discuss the details.
I do request this contact within the next week or so (say by about Sept 14). In about 3 weeks I start working a plant outage with 13 hour days 6 days a week and will not have much time to sort out or set up things for people for those 6 weeks (I work, eat, and sleep).
Might I suggest that those who are wondering how to help. Hold out a helping hand if you have a place that someone could stay while starting over. Feel free to list what you can offer for help.
