Relief

After Second Hurricane
The Gulf States region is recovering from
the aftermath of a second hurricane in less
than a month. Hurricane Rita battered parts
of Louisiana and Texas. Thousands were forced
to evacuate. Once again, the region is beginning
the long process of rebuilding and regrouping.
In the wake of these devastating storms,
the National Hemophilia Foundation is continuing
to serve as a clearinghouse for up-to-date
information and to connect people to necessary
services.
