Frustrated volunteers go it alone to provide help - The Boston Globe:
Fed up with bureaucratic obstacles to aiding the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, a group of Boston-area women is collecting and sending supplies to Louisiana themselves.
The women are packing an 18-wheeler, set to leave Sunday, with hair care products, toys, clothes, suitcases, and other items to give to thousands of evacuees now staying in Lafayette, La., some 135 miles northwest of New Orleans
Note that this situation still exists and today is September 9th!
