Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana
Thursday, September 8, 2005  
Dr. Rachael Carinhas-Murphy

On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina dramatically changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in southeastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi and affected millions more throughout the United States and the world. Those of us directly in the path of the storm were devastated and must now face the challenge of rebuilding.  

Thanks to the generous outpouring of help from the Salvation Army, my brother Matt Carinhas and our neighbors in the city of Fredericksburg, TX in Gillespie County, (photo below) we were able to establish the St. Tammany Parish Relief Fund to aid in rebuilding our community. Your donations of cash, medications, fuel, food, water, medical supplies, and a huge generator have already proved beneficial to hundreds of people in St. Tammany parish and ignited the idea that led to the development and implementation of the St. Tammany Parish Relief Fund. 

The St. Tammany Parish Relief Fund is dedicated to rebuilding our community by re-establishing its residents.  

Our cities, parishes, states and nation are made strong and vibrant by its residents and we believe that each resident, whether life-long or new, is vital to the future of our community. Our neighbors need help over the next 6-12 months with medical care, employment, transportation, clothing, food and shelter.

Our goals are:  

1. Help meet our neighbor’s most basic needs by providing proper food, clothing and shelter for an extended period.

2. Help our neighbors obtain employment by filling existing open jobs in the community and/or creation of new jobs.

3. Provide our neighbors with quality, accessible medical care regardless of their ability to pay. 

As we face this challenge of rebuilding our community, your support has strengthened our determination.

I thank you. We all thank you.
God Bless,
Dr. Rachael Carinhas-Murphy

Thousands of people in St. Tammany parish lost everything. Many more people in the shelters are evacuees from New Orleans who may be in our community for months or permanently. All are in need.
