Turns out there is already an organization called ‘Convoy of Hope’. I did not know that. So from this point forward this is going to be called ‘Convoy OK’.
I have received great response from this idea. I have received word from people who are more than willing to provide rides but are unable to provide a place for people to stay and vice versa. What I have provided below is a way to organize these offers a little better. Below is an e-mail address set up for people who are willing to offer rides as well as an address for people willing to offer somewhere for these people to stay. This will make organizing a trip easier so we will know exactly how many people we can bring back.
If you are willing to drive to Houston please e- mail your contact information to convoyokride@hotmail.com
If you have the ability to provide any housing please e-mail your contact information and the number of people you feel you may able to house convoyokhome@hotmail.com
I know I have not posted an entry in a while that is of a witty or funny nature. I just feel very strongly about helping the evacuees. As I had mentioned before, this is not a call to conservatives or liberals. This is not a call to black or white or gay or straight. This is a call to Americans. We can all put aside our differences to help others.
Thank you again for all the responses I’ve received thus far.
If this is something you would be interested please feel free to contact me.
Thanks again.
