hi, i rarely have time to check on zilvia.net lately... and my world has been a mess ever since this whole thing started. i grew up in Gulfport, MS and just a few years ago moved to New York. my friends and family have all been in touch with me and ive made a couple trips back and fourth. it was really difficult at first wondering if i would ever hear from my mom again. who emailed me from her office in gulfport 2 hours before it hit land. she runs the road department in gulfport so i didnt think she would leave since it would mean tons of work for her after it hit. 4 days later i finally got to speak with her it was a huge relief... and now im dealing with my friends one by one who no longer have jobs, homes and im still trying to get a hold of other family members. i donated through a few places online and im trying to just find something else to do online other than look at pictures of places that i grew up that are destroyed.. and i come here and see this.. you guys are amazing.

thank you
