Christmas Comes to Katrina Survivors
26 Dec 2005
It may have been difficult for Santa to located the children scattered across the US after Hurricane Katrina. Volunteers made sure that the children still living in a tent city at Chalmette, Louisiana, would get a Merry Christmas.
After hearing a child lament that she had to go home because Santa wouldn’t find them, a volunteer at the location decided to do something about it. She got a group of volunteers together. Santa made his visit and each of the children received a gift.
The makeshift city is located downriver from New Orleans. The populace includes 1,000 Katrina survivors and 1,000 National Guard soldiers. They’ve been living this way since October 9th.
