We are also providing hands-on, daily advocacy and relief services for New Orleans evacuees in the Austin, Texas area.

Many people need assistance applying for Medicaid and Food Stamps, finding housing or missing relatives, or gathering bedding and warm clothes for the winter. Our volunteers work with the resources we have to help meet those needs as soon as we discover them.

You can help! If you would like to donate directly to relief and advocacy effort, or give to help a particular narrator, please specify. We will put your money to use with deep integrity, and it will directly improve the lives of New Orleans evacuees in Texas.

We are committed to staying connected to our narrators and supporting them as they continue with their life transitions after Hurricane Katrina. This work is entirely dependent on donations, love, and the dedication of people who are moved to help.

Can’t give money? Send a link to our website to five of your friends! Getting the stories out is our mission, and you can be part of this network simply by sharing the word.
