Charity Links
Handmade with Love
There
are sites with links to other charities that you can check out. Here
are a few to get you started.
Below
are the names of local efforts (southern Louisiana, in the Katrina affected
area of New Orleans and surrounding locales) and a
few others that I have come to know through the years.
Note:
Some donations are tax deductible. Check
IRS publication 78 list of tax exempt charities.
Baptist Friendship House (transitional housing)
General Charity Links I have separated the charities below into Tax Exempt and Not Tax Exempt, so far as I could determine. This could change, of course, and I will not be checking each one, so if you learn a charity is now tax exempt, is no longer tax exempt, or if I have it incorrectly identified, please feel free to let me know. This is not to say either is more or less important. It is just a help to those to whom finances might be an issue.
I have moved the Katrina information to its
own page and intend to keep it up indefinitely My family evacuated Aug. 28, 2005 from the path of Hurricane Katrina. I was able to return September 7, having power but no phone, television or Internet. Within days, I had all these. In much of the New Orleans and surrounding area it will be a long time before they have these simple things which we took for granted for so long. We were very blessed to have escaped with no loss of life and minimal property damage. Update: Our roof has been replaced and most repairs have been made to our fence and other areas. My prayers and thoughts go out to those who lost loved ones in the storm, to those who are now without homes or possessions. There is much work to be done, but this too shall pass in time and we will go on. New Orleans will be a different city perhaps, but it will stand.
Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40 "The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' 41 "Then he will say to those on his left, `Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' 44 "They also will answer, `Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' 45 "He will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' 46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
