Ike Is Gone And We Are Back
I’ve been offline for several days because of Hurricane Ike. About a year and a half ago my partner and I moved fifty miles inland from our former home on Galveston Island. At our new home in suburban Houston, we are still severely affected by the hurricane, having gone four days without power, but we are fortunate enough to have had no damage to our house and only minor damage to our yard and fences. So many of our neighbors, both close by and in the greater Houston/Galveston region, were not so lucky.
Now that our power is back I will be getting GayHankies.com back up and running again as soon as possible. Thank you all, very much, for your patience and support during this time.
If you can, I urge you to support the following charities which are doing a tremendous service to our region:
- Greater Houston Community Foundation - Houston Ike Relief Fund
- Salvation Army Hurricane Respon - Delivering One Million Meals to Ike Victims, on top of One Million Meals to Victims of Other Hurricanes in 2008
- American Red Cross - Operating 144 Shelters in Texas and 19 Shelters in Louisiana for Ike Evacuees
