Comment posted Celebrities Not Helping Texans by Jan House.

There really seems to be a problem in communication here. The residents of the Texas Gulf coast are hurting. Most of the help has been internal-neighbor helping neighbor, town helping town. Thank goodness for the hundreds of linemen from many states and Canada working around the clock to restore power that was originally out to over 3 million people. Also the Red Cross and local food banks stepped in to provide food, water and ice. Churches have opened their doors, giving out clothing, toys, household furnishings and much more.
What is not understood is the scope of the damage and the need that is enormous. We are not just talking about Houston and Galveston but dozens of smaller towns and cities that have been devastated. Even places 200-300 miles inland lost power and had wind damage.
The people in this area are understandably puzzled as to why there is not continued coverage in national media bringing attention to the plight of so many regardless of color or race. It’s like after the initial onslaught, we fell off the radar. Where are all the celebrities who are Texas born? We could use some of the attention from them that many Louisiana celebrities gave to New Orleans. These guys could show their support of their fellow Texans by passing out food, hauling debris, giving an encouraging word and raising money for the victims, of course. Because of the overwhelming response of government resources for Katrina, the funds are depleted and it is difficult to get needed temporary funds, housing, and money to rebuild. Please do not think that people have their hands out for no reason. Some small beach towns no longer exist or uninhabitable at this time. Jobs have vanished along with homes and wordly possessions. These people need to feel that they are not forgotten.
Texas needs your help.
