Angels to the Rescue

Jan 11, 2006

For months, Girlawhirl has been searching for ways to donate things to Hurricane victims. With restoration and rebuilding beginning, and displaced residents making their way home, she figured that there would be some place where she could send things like blankets, dishes and other household items. But finding an organization that was distributing household goods seemed an impossible task. The biggies, like the Red Cross and Salvation Army were just taking cash donations. So every couple of weeks Girlawhirl got on-line and tried to find a place that might be accepting even a single toaster…

And while it was frustratingly impossible for her to help in that manner, she did find Oprah's Angel Network's Katrina Home Registry, where she felt like she was choosing specific household items to donate. From a single board game to a kitchen full of new appliances, all Girlawhirl had to do was click. It worked just like a typical shopping website, but in this case she was shopping for those who needed these things the most.

Which is just what Girlawhirl needed after a week of shopping for herself!
