On my own initiative, I called United Airlines, where I am a member of the air-miles program, to find out if I could donate air miles to either help get people the hell out of the disaster area that was New Orleans, or get doctors and voluteers and helpers IN, to help those in need.

Fortunately, I found out that United airlines is doing just that, and I donated the entire 18,000 miles in my mileage account to The American Red Cross...maybe that will help get one doctor IN, or one unlucky soul OUT!!

Anyways, being unemployed as I am, I could think of no other way to help. Check with other airlines, see if they are doing similar things, and if you are a member of United Mileage Plus, you can donate airmiles to The American Red Cross, as I did, by going to United.com, the main United web page...and Click on the link that says "Unite to help victims of Hurricane Katrina." Scroll down the page for a hyperlink that says MPCharity Miles. This will take you to a page where, online, you can donate air miles to The American Red Cross, or other organizations that are helping in the relief effort in New Orleans and Mississippi.

I am grateful to God that He inspired me to this idea, because I originally thought of this all on my own, wondering just how the hell could I help, with no resources, thanks to unemployment.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!

Thank you!
