I know people are getting tired of all the hurricane blogging but...
If this was you and it was almost us, you'd want people to help you out.
I want you to imagine for a minute that you are a mom to a baby or two and I know I get a lot of mommies reading here so pay attention, and you may have other kids and you're still child bearing age.
The hurricane has ripped your home apart. All your stuff, your babies crib, playpen, stroller, diapers, clothes, formula, your clothes, your feminine products, your kids toys, your everything, is gone. All gone.
The volunteers are bringing water and ice and immediate food but what about diapers and formula? What about your period that you know shows up at the worst possible time and you have nothing?
Try to imagine this please. Just think if this was you.
Now, I want you to spread the word about what these people need.
Quit playing in photoshop or some silly web game and copy that letter below and email major corporations.
We can't do this alone. We need as many people sending email after email asking for help. Email your stores in your area about sending help here.
Post about it in your blogs and spread the word.
I was going through the list of FLA blogs that I had made and couldn't believe how many blogs are out there in just my state that I didn't know about. If I post a message asking for help and you see it, then you post a message asking for help, how many people will see it and post a message too?
We don't know but that's what we need. We need to spread it across the country and ask for help.
It's fucking hot here people. It's like 95 degrees with a heat index of like 103.
We, and I mean every single person sitting reading this blog, is in their comfy home with AC and food and shelter and running water and lights and toys and everything we need.
These people could be without for a very long time.
Think about that. We are on 1 week and looking at many more.
Just post the message. Email stores and corporations and ask for help.
A couple thousand people or more emailing asking them for help is pretty hard to ignore.
Thank you.

Kat, do you think corporations in Canada would be willing to help? I have no idea. For now, I will post Robyn's message on my blog because I know I have a few American readers. I wish I could help more.

I have no idea if canada would help but it wouldn't hurt to ask right? Thanks for the post about it.
