Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans. The disaster that hit New Orleans a few years ago is still fresh to many. I won’t lie, I had forgotten all about it until I came across a wonderful artist who is trying his hardest to contribute to rebuild the city. What have I done yet to contribute and show that I care? Not a damn thing. What have you done now that it’s almost four years? If your answer is nothing yet, shame on you and shame on me. It’s about freaking time we do something.
I’ll be honest. Although financially I stand on well soiled grounds, I am far from being rich to donate for causes. But hell, a dollar for a cause like helping rebuild the city of New Orleans is something I can afford. And I know you can too. Josh Charles, an amazing artist is giving away all proceeds to help rebuild New Orleans. One song, one dollar and the goal is to reach a million dollars and every single penny goes to help New Orleans. I am sure you watched Hurricane Katrina and the chaos, the destruction on TV and newspapers. I am sure you remember watching people standing on rooftop waiting to be rescued. I am sure you remember everything. It was news back then. Today although it’s not on news and media often there are people that are still suffering. If an artist can give away everything he earns through his art, we sure as hell can give a dollar and say “I care.”
I have donated a dollar to help rebuild New Orleans. Although a dollar, it contributes to a million. If you haven’t done anything yet or aren’t going to donate even a dollar for this cause, I can proudly say that I am free of guilt. You are alone. Shame on you.
Donate a dollar. Be a part. Spread the word. Tweet about it. Blog about it. Do whatever it takes but be a part in helping rebuild New Orleans.
Visit Josh Charles on how you can contribute and help spread the word.
Can we work together to help Josh help rebuild New Orleans?

Hi, My name is Ritu. I am a member of SMA (Social Media Anonymous) ;-) & help bloggers and businesses utilize the social web. 
I love this post! Thank you for actually taking notice and acting. You are my hero
Of course I notice Susan. Thanks for introducing me to Josh and the noble cause.
Not only was the city’s infrastructured totalled but, many musicians lost their equipment, their livelyhood because of Katrina’s destruction.
Thanks for acting Josh! We can help as well
It is so very difficult to believe that after al this time, there is still so much to do to help the city/people of New Orleans. I donated back then, I’ll donate now. It’s a wonderful thing that Josh Charles is doing & I hope he gets lots of support for doing it.
GREAT song & great mission! Already made My donations & passing the info on!

Thanks for not forgetting. Americans seem to have a very short attention span. We still have many people suffering here and there is still much to be done. Our REBUILD is a marathon, not a sprint. Merci Beaucoup!
