Dear Relief Team:
I feel terrible it has been so long since I have written you. I want to give you an update and let you see what you have helped make happen. I cannot tell you how grateful I am every time I receive a donation or note from you. You help keep us going. You have literally helped THOUSANDS of people here in Louisiana. I am going to try to remember everything we have done since my last note but what I forget I will write to you later. You are very much in my thoughts and prayers. The need is still great but please read what YOU have made happen here. Your commitment to us during this challenging time is a ray of sunshine for us all. The following is a list of what we have distributed to folks. I am also adding a letter that I wrote to some of you during the holidays. Thank you for what you have done and all that you continue to do. Please keep us in your prayers. God bless you, marylee THESE ARE THE NUMBERS ON THE PROTECTIVE GEAR FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE GUTTING OUT/CLEANING THEIR HOMES
