Are you or someone you know a Katrina Survivor?

Question

I'm just wondering how the survivors are doing now........are you re-settled somewhere and doing okay?

My parents, brother and sister have rebuilt what was damaged and actually benefited from relief funds.

Answer 1

Yeah this black girl at my school

Answer 2

I went to Washington DC last year to work at Red Cross headquarters to administer the long term unmet needs of some of the Katrina.Rita and Wilma survivors.  Many of the people love the new state they live in.  Many marriages broke up due to the stress of it all, there are some people still affected by the contaminated water, some got MSRA, some are still struggling, some went on to college and rebuilt their homes, some others just gave up on property located in The 9th ward.  People, doing the best they can, what indelible spirit many have...true SURVIVORS!

Answer 3

Im from New Orleans. I left a few days before the hurricane hit but I still ended up having to move to another state because of it. I like where I am now... almost no crime, good schools for my son and Im in college and doing better then ever... I do miss New Orleans and I plan on visiting as much as possible. I wouldnt move back tho, too much crime, crappy schools... etc...

Where did your parents live?
