Hi, I am Angel, a Katrina surviver.

I am recovering from multiple infections because of the water, and also a broken backand knees. I have lupus so I live on @$546 monthly.

It is too much for foodstamps here and there are no workers who come to homes. I am not having a christmas at all but with the Lord.

I need prayers and hope. I have recovered from 3, yes THREE terminal illnesses over the last 15 years! I am blessed in that, but it is hard again.

I need some hope. I need to feel useful. All my friends were either killed or relocated from here and I cannot get out. I am on disability in housing where I know noone. I have been out of food for weeks at a time, there has been a shortage down here since the hurricane was over. I just completed my 239th hospital stay.

I am a miracle. But it is very hard to be alone, even with god and all through all of this.

Just pray for me! Angel of Hurricane Katrina

That is the only picture I have of me. I was pretty ill, but cleaned up good! I am struggling now.....

I know I am not the only one! God bless all of you! 

I broke my back in Katrina and will be alone for christmas. Prayers or whatever can be done?! God bless, AngelofKatrina Old awful pic, but it is me.

Hi, I am Angel and live in the New Orlean's Area.

I am on lowlow income disability with utilities now reconnected and over $318 mo and my income on disability as a former Teacher and Artist is under $550 a month.

I have been weeks without food and am unable to get out. I believe in the power of prayer! Please do so as I am alone. Everyone I knew was either killed or was relocated after the worse thing I could ever imagine experiencing Hurricane Katrina here in New Orleans, where I broke my back after being airlifted to the airport and then up to Baton Rouge from the MASH units in the Airport that was shut down. It is still pretty bad here.

I had several medical procedures on my back, but the cost of everything with no family is terrible. The upcoming holidays are just so sad. I feel very very alone and I have had great faith to live with all of this.

I just ran across this trying to help someone else.

I hope to hear from someone, but peace and sleep instead of PTSD/nightmares would be a blessing!
