Many amazing rescues

Our friends were trapped in a three-story home in the middle of Gentilly -- a really flooded area. They were airlifted to safety Thursday, September 1, Thank God. If they were saved, I have hope for so many others in these watered neighborhoods. Other friends swam through the waters near the broken levees, so I have hope for everyone I have not yet located. Everyone should volunteer and give as much money as you can to United Way or Salvation Army or your local churches. Every dollar counts. My own immediate family members can be located through: www.aasgaard.com and we are giving all we can. God Bless.
