Earlier this week, the Gulf Coast was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, one of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit America. In the aftermath of the storm, thousands may be dead, hundreds of thousands have had their home destroyed or damaged by wind and floodwaters, and millions are without electricity or running water. It is a grim situation.

Soon, the task of rebuilding the cities and lives that were destroyed will begin. If you would like to help in the rebuilding efforts and help be a hero for millions of people, please consider giving the following charities a donation.
