This report was sent in to update me on the animal situation in Abbeville, Louisiana, about 20 miles south of Lafayette:

The destruction is total in many areas, and the land is contaminated with salt water and chemicals. They desperately need donations since they have seen nothing from the Humane Society of the US in either Vermilion or Cameron Parishes. Donations of cash or gift cards can be sent to Animal Aid which is a 501c3 organization. Their address is 1101 West POrt Street, Abbeville, LA 79510 ATT: Joelle Rupert. Also if you know of anyone else who would donate it would be wonderful. This parish's story can be found at http://vermillionanimalaid.blogspot.com. I am working with our church right now to get thec ongregation to adopt Vermillion Parish for the holidays, as the human need there is also great, and they have had no recent sign of Red Cross, FEMA. I'm encouraging everyone I know to approach their churches, civic and work groups to adopt either Vermillion or Cameron Parish for both animal aid and human aid. The human aid location for donations is CASH or Shoping CARDS - Harvest Time Tabernacle, 901 Wildcat Drive Abbeville, LA 70510 for Supply Donations United Methodist Church c/o Cheryl Choate 26411 Front Ridge Road, Kaplan, LA 70548. Everything is needed except for clothes which they had a supply of because they took in the Katrina refugees.
