She also gives two addresses for donation assistance for Hurricane Katrina survivors:

"Hello guys, and my thanks again for the outpouring of love which has come from all over to embrace the victims of the storm in the south. Here is another address I would like to give you for people I know very well who are taking care of a hundred or more evacuees. I'm sure they can use whatever you can send. I am speaking of the monks of St. Joseph Abby; St. Benedict, Louisiana, 70457. Help can be sent to the attention of Abbot Justin Brown."

"You have donations you can make -- material goods perhaps, cash, whatever. Well I have a key address for you: -- Fr. Joseph P. Callipare; St. John Catholic Church; 303 So. Navy Blvd; Pensacola, Florida 32507. -- Fr. Joe was my pastor during the summers I lived in Florida and he is a great priest and a great man. His school is taking in some 42 children who are part of the evacuation from the storm."
