Let our prayers always be with them!

I have done what I can to contact the facilities my company is affilitated with on the gulf coast.

Some fared the "initial attack" though have suffered in the aftermath. Staff is tiring rapidly with no reliefs & supplies are running short - all are in need of water, food is a close second, but then so are some of the medical supplies. One is in need of fuel for their generator as they have been in the dark for a couple of days now.
After the storm one of the facilities looted a nearby "competetor" facility that had been able to evactaute. They obtained extra food, meds, & supplies that have been a boost to them over the past week.
Most of these facilities are "making do". Times are difficult & stressors are running high, but the staff are doing what they can until help arrives.
Most had been advised to expect some military evacuations over the holiday weekend. Haven't heard if those evacuations actually took place.


And finally, the one facility we have not been able to make contact with.
Unable to evacuate & now no one we have been able to contact can provide us with any information.
We reassure ourselves that they are okay, that they are "making do" like the other facilities....yet we know from pictures in the news reports that much of the area around then was totally destroyed.

They are always in our prayers!
