Good morning.
As a psychologist in South Africa, I may not be able to help directly, but
if in any way someone needs emotional support and have access to e-mail, I
would be able to give support. I work full day as a researcher, but I am
available at night from Monday to Thursday.
Regards
Dorethea Herbst

In a related reply to the below post, John Gibson LP of Houston Texas, has

prosthetic needs in Houston.
His offices and facility is located directly across from The Houston
Astrodome ,where some 12,000 refugees are now housed.
Once a patient is identified, John will contact the Barr Foundation for the
specific component needs and we will in provide them from our warehouse
stock pile or reach out to the O&P manufacturers for component donations
and have them shipped for that specific candidate.
John and his volunteers will provide the rehabilitation and or required
adjustments and repairs to prostheses at no charge. The manufacture/donor
will receive acknowledgement for their tax deductible donations to the Barr

Dear OANDP-L subscribers:
It would be helpful to obtain a list of any and all O&P businesses that are
able to see patients in the areas struck by Katrina. Many people have been
relocated, with little knowledge of available resources.
There are subscribers to AMP-L and other amputee resources that still have
internet access, and knowledge of who is able to help in those areas most
directly in need would benefit everyone concerned.
In the event you are located in the stricken areas and can see amputees in
need of service, kindly send e-mail with your facility name and contact
information to me at:
<wayne-katrina at renardson.org>
and I will post all responses to AMP-L and OANDP-L where they can be
reposted to other forums. I am located in Nashville, TN
Thank you

We are in San Antonio, Tx and approx 13,000 have been processed through
here. We are finding that the need for basic supplies such as socks. We
are also finding the liners they are using are not being dried out.
They have no safe place to do that.
We have supplied several new liners just to have dry ones.
We are also finding that they have been through a very traumatic time
and a few will completely break down while you are working with them.

Wayne:
We are located in Nebraska. Yes, outside of the stricken area
however, we are seeing some in-migration. In fact, the Universities
here have welcomed victims of Hurricane Katrina with in-state tuition.
A very kind gesture.
In the case we can help I offer our businesses information.
