You can help the rescuers

For some first-hand coverage on the animal rescue in New Orleans, visit the Web site for Pasado's Safe Haven. What they are doing is incredible.

I tried to get down there to help for a week and kept hitting dead-ends. There is no place to stay, and now airfares are outrageous. It is also taking about 16 hours to get to either New Orleans or Baton Rouge by air. I tried to rent an RV or a mini-van (to sleep in) and nothing is available anymore.

But anyone who can go, or donate, please visit the site. They are very honest in what it takes to volunteer.
