Mardi Grass New Orleans and Make It Right

Well as most of you have noticed we have added the Make It Right foundation 1 on our Myspace  friends list today.  www.myspace.com/nightreflections    And as Mardi Grass continues and people flock to New Orleans to party, we need to continue to help the people who still have not recovered from Katrina.     Even the more fortunate people are still having issues, so I could only imagine what the less fortunate are going through right now.   As most of you know my grandparents family was born and raised in Louisiana.  My Great Aunt lost her home also to the floods from Katrina, and about a year later she was able to move to a house in Baton Rouge. But not long after that, she had returned from a day of shopping and shockingly she passed away. My cousin advised that he had not left her alone for more then 5 minutes after they had returned home. He said that he walked back into the house and she was lying on the floor and he thought she had fell…but instead she had passed away.

(I also had just talked to her the day before, and this woman was in good health and good spirits..this was a huge shock to us all.)

Sometimes we don’t realize how much stress there really is in our lives until it finally kills us. ( Like my Aunt, it doesn’t matter how rich you are or how poor you are…Katrina effected everyone)

 My Aunt and other family members who were lucky to move out and try to rebuild their lives in Baton Rouge or where ever….  I say that we are very fortunate…and that is why I think we should keep supporting the Make It Right Foundation. Some of us can’t be there to physically help rebuild the city but we can aleast keep helping them raise the money that can help purchase the tools and equipment that is needed to keep on supporting these people who are there physically that are still trying so hard to Make It Right!

  I am not a big fan of Hollywood and also not a big fan of Brad Pitt either.  I don’t worship celebrities, musicians, etc…(b/c I think Everybody is Somebody!) But I also do think that Mr. Pitt with the Make It Right Foundation is moving in the right direction. 

  So if you would like to help out a little… You can go to this link and buy a Make It Right T-Shirt to help support this cause.
