| News - National WWME Reaching Out to Encountered families
Jack & Angel LaBate and Fr. Dennis Hughes Dearest Lovers, As most of you know, New Orleans, Alabama and Mississippi are in Section Five which includes seven of the southeastern states. Many couples in Section 5 wanted to do something to help the families who are suffering from losses due to hurricane Katrina. After discussion with Bob & Joy and Fr. Chuck, we took on the responsibility of setting up a data base to collect the names of couples who would like to help. We now have many couples from all over the country, as well as many in Section 5 who have responded quickly with much love and concern. They have offered to open their homes to WWME families in need. At this time Chuck & Suzy Mantle from Punta Gorda, Florida are making plans to take their motor home filled with basic supplies and a generator to Gary & Marcia Daigle, Local Area Leaders in New Orleans. John & Sally Carson, Local Area Leaders for Northwest Florida, and their sharing group in Pensacola, are taking a truck load of much needed items and a generator to help that same community. The WWME National office in California has established a Katrina Fund and all donations will go directly to those encountered families who are in desperate of our help. We encourage you to consider donating to the fund. There are several families at this time who have lost all of their belongings and their homes except for the basic structure. These families do not know when they will be able to return to their homes and do not know when they will be back to work. It will be a long time before they get back to normal. Please send a donation today. You can donate by check or use a credit card by calling into the National Office. See the contact information below. Thank you for your help. God bless.
