Katrina Survivor

I lost my house, everything I own including a car to Katrina. My job is gone as well. I have 20 family members living in a two bedroom apartment with my niece. We are only being allowed to have the small mobile trailers to live in for now and we are not allowed to tap into the city's water system. We have to have licensed electricians to hook up the lights, which many of us can't afford. None of our elected officials that are making these rules have to live by them. We are at their mercy right now, and God help them for messing with his children.
