Events by Brawin Leads Local Public Relations Campaign to Support Fundraising Efforts for Victims of Hurricane Katrina
(ContentDesk) September 10, 2005 -- As we all know by now, Hurricane Katrina has wrecked havoc on the coastal towns of Mississippi and New Orleans.
Hundreds of thousands of people have lost all of their belongings.
The number of deaths in New Orleans alone is expected to exceed 10,000.
The true impact of Hurricane Katrina may not be known for years to come as disease is expected to claim many more lives.Many of the people who remain are homeless and without the bare necessities needed to exist.
At this point, the main objective for many of the humanitarian and government agencies is to provide shelter, clothing, food and fresh drinking water in an attempt to return the survivors to some level of normalcy to lives that have been devastated beyond what most of us can comprehend.
The need for assistance, any and all, is dire.If you have not already done so, we appeal to you to please make a donation ? of any size.
In addition to the well known national organizations listed below, your local church, local firehouses and local police stations are accepting donations.
Many of the local efforts are focused on the collection of toiletries, clothes and toys for the children.
If you live in the Chicago area,
it is important to note that hurricane victims are now being evacuated to our area.
An abandoned mental health facility has been turned into a shelter.
The shelter opened today and it is located in Tinley Park at 183rd and Harlem.
In addition to volunteers, they are in need of air mattresses, clothing, underwear, non-perishable foods and so much more.
You can contact Sister Alexander at 708.758.2300.The true spirit of a nation is reflected in how people respond to tragedy.
Our office has received many inquiries about how to help.* Will my small donation really make a difference?The answer is emphatically YES.
This is the largest relief effort in recent US history.
Every dollar helps when you think about the sheer number of people who have lost everything that they own.* What organization can I really trust?When making a charitable donation, many of us are concerned that the moneys aren't going where we intended or for purposes that we intended.

There are many from which to choose.

The Benefits of Sleep and Memory Foam Mattresses
(ContentDesk) October 21, 2005 -- Sleep is one of the most important things we do in a day. Sleep gives both our minds and our bodys time to recharge and repair themselves, and is absolutely essential to life. Science is still struggling to understand some of the most basic questions about sleep, but what is certain, is that sleep is as important to life as eating and breathing, and should be regarded as crucial part of every person's day.
