Dear Friends,

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, my family, like yours, has been watching the horrifying images of utter destruction and unimaginable heartbreak.

At times like these, there are no Democrats, or Republicans, no northerners or southerners: we are all Americans. And like any other time in the history of this great nation, when faced with great challenges, we stand together, shoulder-to-shoulder and rise up to the occasion.

As families throughout the devastated region try to piece their lives back together, I ask you to look around your own homes and count your blessings, then, look into your hearts and share your good fortune. Please do whatever you can to help the thousands of displaced and homeless victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Right now, the fastest way to get help to the victims of Hurricane Katrina is to make a donation to one of the aid organizations already on the ground and at work. Please consider making a donation to the Red Cross today.

Thank you for your compassion and sacrifice,
Joe Biden
