Support Melissa's Efforts to Rebuild New Orleans

The recent disaster in Haiti has broadcast pictures of destruction and suffering around the nation and inspired many of us to take action. Not only has it motivated me to donate to relief efforts in Haiti it has also reminded me that areas hit by disasters need our help long after the news cameras stop rolling.

So, I've decided to trade my bathing suit for a tool belt this spring and team up with United Way to make a meaningful impact rebuilding the Gulf Coast. Approaching the five year anniversary of Katrina, St. Bernard Parish, just east of New Orleans, still continues to rebuild homes and lives and needs our help.

I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to lend a hand and spend a week volunteering and hope you will support me in my endeavor. Thanks for your support. Please feel free to pass along my page to anyone and everyone that might be able to help.

Thank you!
