www.Noahswish.org Please note: According to a news article on Sunday, April
15, 2007, this group has temporarily shut down amid allegations of financial irregularities and a state investigation into
the use of funds raised in connection with their services to rescued pets in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Terri
Crisp, reportedly the founder of Noah's Wish, stated she is "confident" investigators will find no intentional wrongdoing. Her
stance is that they were overwhelmed with a "flood" of donations and also needs so great that for a while proper documentation
lagged. Crisp was reportedly removed as executive director of the agency on March 28, and the article also noted that
several board members had also resigned.

Disaster Relief Agencies:
We take a chance and reveal one of our own biases here. There are
so many good organizations, and we support many of them. Based on our experience regarding the consistency and
effectiveness of response to many differing types of locations and disasters, one of our favorites is the Salvation Army. Here is the link:
Another one that is often overlooked serves the needs
of the heroes that no crisis can be managed without. The brave people in the fire service not only often risk life and
limb and serve under extreme hardship, but often do so when they don't even know their own families are safe. This organization helps
to meet needs within the fire service families:
