Americans interrupt lives to help hurricane victims - Yahoo! News: "On Wednesday night, two days after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, Leeann Epstein watched the devastation on TV and cried herself to sleep.
She slept poorly, waking at 4 a.m., determined to help. With her youngest child having just left for college, the St. Michaels, Md., resident decided to empty most of her linen closet, box the items and mail them south.
'By the time I got to the end of my driveway, I had another idea,' says Epstein, the office manager of her husband's dental practice. She'd ask the 55 other members of the Junior Women's Club to donate items. Within hours, dozens agreed, as did the men's club and the business association."
