Hi, I am so pleased that so many of you are willing to help out the LCs and LLLs who have lost so much. I have been in contact with several companies who sell breastfeeding books and they will be giving a discount to those buying a book for a LC or LLL in the affected area. I will keep you posted as the project unfolds and the details on how to buy and where to send them. Those of you already having books that you are wanting to give contact me and I will e-mail with the details on where to send those books. If you have others that might be willing to help please forward this email on to them and ask them to contact me. Again thank you and know this will be an ongoing process as the events of this disaster and recovery continue. Crystal Stearns RNC, MS, IBCLC Mercy Memorial Health Center Ardmore, OK 73401 Hi all, We as a group need to be thinking about how we can help out our LC and LLL that have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. Most of these LCs and LLL will have lost everything and that means all their references books on breastfeeding. I for one would like to help out this group with replacing these books. I know most of you are thinking Crystal has lost her mind, (maybe I have). They don't need books they need water, food and shelter. Having been a Red Cross Disaster Nurse since 1978 and having worked many National Disaster myself I know that in the end it's the small thing that count. A book might not seem like a lot at this point, but if I lost all my breastfeeding books I would feel a great loss, probability not now but later. So here is what I'm asking. If you know of a LC or LLL that is in the affected area and you have an address or contact for that person please forward it to me.
