An Email from My Mother

Last night at the gallery Eric was pointing out that lots of people would like to help but money is already tight. Today I read in the WSJ of organizations to help that do not involve cash donations. An ER physician in NYC is collecting used cell phones to be distributed to the sick and elderly -- they are reprogrammed to only dial 911 and are activated for free, www.phones4life.org or 212 730 4699. The Pajama Program is gathering new pajamas for the refugees in the Houston Astrodome http://www.pajamaprogram.org/ 646 522 6836. In Baton Rouge there is a community foundation that needs everything including pet food, they expect to have 500,000 refugees flock to the city from New Orleans.
