Please send this to TV and Radio stations:

They have asked US to do what we can to help these people.

I can donate some money to Tes.  Is the website the quickest way?

It is Dolce. Thank you. Right now, I think they need help more than anything else. They just cannot get these people aot and 10 stories are a whole lot of stairs to climb.

I've got the city of Houston on the phone. Do they need rescued? Moved? Just food?

[mrskub]

I just got off the phone with destiny. There was a huge outpouring of help to deliver ice and a store donated breads. Volunteers killed themselves running up and down all these stairs with deliveries. There are 2 medics who were there checking on everyone's well being. Some people are in a critical position with requiring dialysis. If they don't get this, they will die.

It's a horrible situation. We have done all we can do from here. The EMS is aware as is Red Cross and the City of Houston. At this point, it's probably best for the residents to remain in their homes if possible. I was told there are only about 100 more spaces available in the shelters near them.

Aside from notifying local stations to cover this with the hope of additional help, there really isn't anything else I can think of to do. If anyone has an idea, by all means, speak up. We're all ears.

Marlee just called me, but I missed her call. She said she tried to call you but didn't get you. She wants you to call her on her cell number.

YES...Frank/TES said they can access the funds very quickly...please make notation in your donation for HOUSTON.....TIA...Des

Someone donated a bunch of raw turkey breasts. TES needs grills, charcoal and lighter fluid to cook these. All food that was on hand is gone. There is no back up. Deliveries made today were eaten. These people hadn't eaten since Friday. God Bless them.

You guys got the word out...
and assistance is being provided and authorities are now aware!

It almost sounds like the Natl. guard or FEMA  needs to roll in a generator that can provide power to Both building   for the medical equipment and make moving them easier.

You have done a miracle literally ! 

[mrskub]

On the phone with National Guard. They are on their way.

[oldfart]

On the phone with National Guard. They are on their way.

Tell them to take a generator to power the elevators  IF THEY  CAN !!!!

Destiny here is the phone number to Operation Blessing...they are ususally some of the first responders...and they come with truckloads of food and water. I can't use my cell phone here at home and I can't hang on long distance that long...if you don't mind would you please give them a call?  I know you will...thanks a bunch.  If they ask you if you are a 700 club member tell them you are calling on behalf of one...me.

Operation Blessing's main number: 757-226-3401
