Hi Goanetters! A New York City Goan woman- Edissa Lobo is currently accomodating some displaced goan "Katrina" Hurricane victims at her home in Queens.
Whilst initially , it was thought that they would be able to return, it has become apparent that the situation in New Orleans is not conducive at all to getting back to mormalcy. This has forced them to deeply ponder other alternatives. As they try to "stitch" their lives together, they are encountering a lot of difficulties- financially and otherwise- and need a lot of assistance. Some goan groups and individuals in the area are helping out; but until they settle down, which will take quite some time, they will need much more help.. I am forwarding an email from one of the victims - Nancy Paes- explaining the plight of the family. As you will note, they have literally lost everything. I will appreciate if any assistance could be rendered to these victims . Thanx. Tony Barros. Union, New Jersey. U . S . A . __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
