People from all walks of life affected, all colors, all income levels, all ages, communities flattened, how can they continue to start their lives again?  Katrina was the costliest storm in United States history - with amounts over $81.2 billion.  The death toll was over 1,836.  Millions have been affected.  But each day ... other disasters claim the lives of the innocent - we will continue to help those in need.

Stories of those who lost all - inspiration - hope - and healing -

~ August 2009 ~
In today's "World" everyone is always looking for someone
to "blame" ... it is easier to find someone else to fight the battle -
get you out of a bind - make your life better - or when it all falls
apart - find someone or something to find fault.  Most of the time ... the end result is still the same ... it's all about money.
Hurricane Katrina ... was the costliest hurricane, as well as one of the five deadliest, in the history of the United States. Among recorded Atlantic hurricanes, it was the sixth strongest overall.

Just yesterday - November 18, 2009 - a court ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers' mismanagement of maintenance at the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet  was directly responsible for flood damage in St. Bernard Parish and the Lower 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina.  Now there will be millions of dollars paid to people who were affected.  For some it is too late - for some - they won't see a dime.

There can be no blame for the Hurricane - it happened as according to God's Perfect Plan.  The levees might have not held up - but it was in the Perfect Plan.  President Bush might have not had the proper people in place to handle a disaster of this magnitude - who on earth was capable of "handling this perfectly" - NO ONE!  But this was in the Perfect Plan.

I agree that many pieces were not handled "properly by standards" - but blame won't solve the problem ... it starts with a reform of the mind and heart.  Our economy and government and our "world" will not get "better" until their is a change of HEART!

You can read "Hurricane Katrina ... love thy neighbour" - here ... you will see that a genuine love for mankind is what makes the Perfect Plan fulfilled, what plans are in store for you and how you too can prepare before the storm!

Many valuable lessons were learned from Hurricane Katrina ... the pain of losing everything you have worked so hard for ... and the positive outpouring of aid from American Citizens ... and all over the World.

It's time again neighbours ... to come together for a cause ... These folks out west need our help.  Once again - this site will help match up those in need with those willing to help.

There are still Hurricane Katrina victims who are still in need of help - the road to 
recovery has been VERY hard for some ... just a simple care package would be such a blessing!

It's simple ... follow the buttons on the right.  If you need help - you have help to offer - housing - anything ... for those in need ... we are here to help ... 

Katrina.com has taken on whole new purpose and mission.  For the past 9 years, this website has been a place where folks could come and get free computer help and guide them as they choose to design a website for their business or organization.  I just so happened to be named "Katrina" and this was my personal site ... little did I know that over 15 billion hits later ... since the Hurricane hit that this website would be used as such to be a blessing to thousands.

On August 29, 2005, this site became a source of hope and healing for those desperately looking for their loved ones stranded on rooftops and in attics - a means of survival for those who lost everything to the worst natural disaster in American History ... Hurricane Katrina.

Through this site, we literally helped rescue over 450 families in Louisiana & Mississippi.  We reunited over 7,200 missing persons with their loved ones.  Christmas 2005, we adopted out 565 families scraping to clothe and feed their families.  Christmas 2006, we adopted out 462 families who were still struggling to get back on their feet. 

Curtis and I have prayed for God's guidance in the future of this site, and we feel strongly that Hurricane Katrina has taught many how to love, to give, to appreciate, to bond together with friends and neighbors all over the world.  Through this site, relationships have been built to last a lifetime.  Encouragement from those with huge hearts have guided those which disaster made life never the same again.

So ... Katrina's American Angels now being formed.  Using Hurricane Katrina as a reminder and role model for aid all over America no matter what the disaster or desperate cry for help. 

We as Christians and Fellow Neighbors are to be that "bridge over troubled waters" to those in need.

Please help those still in need.  many do not have access to a computer or a friend willing to apply for them.  These folks really are in need!
