Alabama, Bayou La Batre Needs Help

Posted at 11:52 AM, Sep. 8, 2005

One area that was especially hit hard, but is not getting the publicity that other areas are is Bayou La Batre, Alabama. It was a depressed shrimping area to begin with. You may have heard of it from the Forrest Gump movie. It has been devasated with generations of families displaced. One of my agents, Brandon, is the Minister of Music at Bayou La Batre Church of God. They are working very hard to feed and clothe a lot of people right now. You can contact Brandon at brandonesmith82@aol.com. I know they can use all the help they can possibly get and it will get directly to the people that need it.

PEOPLE NEEDING HELP!

Posted by Anonymous at 9:40 PM, Sep. 24, 2005

Hi There, I found your website and I think it's great that realtors are pulling together to offer their assistance. For any realtors that want to help a family or individual affected by the recent hurricanes, please consider visiting www.up4contract.com. The company set up a toll free hurricane help line, where victims call in with their help request and its published on the website. People able to help can contact people in need directly. It's truly about people helping people. There are many requests for temporary homes and affordable living. I thought that if any of you could check out the site and see if there's someone you can help - it would be appreciated. If you have questions, you can email me at hurricane@up4contract.com. We thank you in advance!
