WHAT CAN YOU DO!!!

My cool host for my website sent me this letter, read then send stuff here to help victims of the hurricane
Hello,

As many of you know CoffeeCup Software
is a socially active company.
In the past our users have raised over
1 million dollars for
September 11th efforts and over $50,000
dollars for
vistims of the Asian Tsunami.
Hurricane Katrina has given us a different challenge.
We have accessed thesituation and have found
a way we can all help.
Since CoffeeCup Software is located
in Corpus Christi, Texas
(a couple of hours south of Houston), we
are calling upon anyone who receives this e-mail to
send 'Goods' to ouroffice.
This will directly help the thousands
upon thousands of American refugees that
will be entering
Houston, Beaumont, and througout Texas
within the next days and weeks.

Our office will collect what you
send and will drive these
items by cargo truck to the refugees
where they are located.
Over 25,000 people willarrive at the
Houston Astrodome
tonight and we expect many waves of
refugees over the next month. We will
collect items
for the next 60 days
and will make trips once a week or more
as needed.

Currently many Charitable organizations
are overwhelmed
and we want to make
sure the Families and Children will be
given what they
really need without
wait. Send as much as you wish, we have
plenty of storage.

Some items we believe they need are:

Diapers, Baby Wipes, Infant Care
Items
Personal Care Items (soap, razors,
shaving cream,
toothpaste, hygeine
items)
Clothing (socks, underwear, shirts,
shoes, pants, shirts)
Long Distance Calling Cards, Batteries,
FM Radios, Walkie-Talkies
Toys (coloring books, crayons, puzzles,
any activity toy)
and more....

Our Address is:

CoffeeCup Software
c/o Hurricane Aid
226 South Tancahua Street
Corpus Christi, Texas 78401


You can also order things online at
places like Amazon.com,.
WalMart.com,Target.com, and others
and have them sent
directly to our offices as well.

Please do not send food, water, or money.
This will be handled by Organized
Charities. Send what you would personally want if
you were placed in a very
uncomfortbale position for a very long time
with little or no money (use
your best judgement).

We will be documenting our efforts
by Web Cam and Pictures and these will
be posted on our Website soon.

If you would like to Donate money you can do that here:
