Hurricane Katrina looks to surpass the all time record for personal contributions to the victims of a natural disaster. In fact it may soon surpass the donations of New York City International Terrorist Attack of 9-11. It is wonderful to see the pouring out of support from fellow citizens to those victims of Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast.

Unfortunately these expenditures at a time when money is tight on families due to the high fuel prices they are paying at the pumps, this means other very noble causes may not get the funds they need to survive. Additionally many non-profits have had a tough time even before Hurricane Katrina. Community organizations, school groups and churches may also feel the pinch. No one want to not give to Hurricane Katrina
