"Tobi Buckman, Aberdeen's disaster preparedness coordinator and a mental health volunteer with the American Red Cross, plans to leave on Sept. 28, to provide counseling help to Katrina victims. She may also end up in Texas, depending on the outcome of Hurricane Rita. Two other volunteers with the Grays Harbor Chapter of the American Red Cross are down in the hurricane disaster area helping out and right now two more are set to go in the next week.

An Aberdeen family is hoping to collect items to help young hurricane victims. The Dossetts, Robert, Brandy and their two daughters, Eva, 13 and Catherine, 12, started the Katrina's Kids donation drive. Lots of charities and organizations are collecting money, food and other necessities needed for survival, but the family wants to collect extra things -- toys, clothes, books and school supplies -- that 'might just bring a smile to a child's face ... and help to take their minds off of what has happened around them,' the donation flyer said. The items will be delivered to World Vision in Kent for distribution. The girls, Eva's an eighth-grader at Miller and Catherine's in seventh grade, have set up a collection box at school, and donations can also be dropped off at their home at 803 W. Third St"
