Marc is in Pearlington, MS
Topic: Katrina Relief
Marc Marchetti, a representative of Vets & Pets (Veterans Recovery and Food Bank of Florida,Inc.), arrived in Pearlington , MS to give them tractor-trailer loads of supplies. They join Dr. Ann Scholl of Chickasaw Animal Hospital , Orlando , FL. who is there at the request of the Pontchartrain Humane Society to set up a vet clinic. Marc Marchetti plans to stay and help because the people in Pearlington are desperate. There aren't any Red Cross, Salvation Army or any other centers there. Most of the people there have no transportation because everything is gone because of Katrina. They need everything--food, clothing, medicine, volunteers, etc. The National Guard (units from MS, AL and TN), the Army and the Army Corps of Engineers are there and doing all they can, but they don't have the supplies. If you know people who can help, they need it. They are helping both people and animals.
