Today on the premiere of the 20th season of her talk show, Oprah Winfrey announced that she will donate $10 million for Hurricane Katrina relief. She also announced that her Angel Network will be building houses and she has launched a website where those interested in donating specific goods to the houses can virtually decorate homes for the families that will receive them.

I would like the web site address for oprha website where those interested in donating specific goods to the houses can virtually decorate homes for the families that will receive them. I would like to e mail all my friends so they can also donate. I think this is the best way to donate, Oprha I think you are a wonderful person for coming up with this idea.

Oprah and all involved.

Thank you so very much for your generosity. My husband and myself run a small business servicing the industrial plants throughout LA and MS, south of Jackson, MS. Our home and home office was only a couple of blocks from where the 17th Street Canal Levy break in New Orleans. How can we, having lost everything, running a small, disadvantaged woman owned business apply for any grant money that may be available for folks like us?

Please let me know. Thank you and God Bless you Oprah!

HEY!!!!!

How are you Ms. Oprah, I read that you have given $10 million to the victims.... how GREAT!!! Im a young lady in LA,CA, and I believe in prayer... I don't know if ur in need of more money, so im not going to pray for that, however, I will pray that God give you strength... people dont realize that the rich need prayer as well as the poor. Ms. Oprah, you are a vessel being used by the almighty God. Keep up the good work... Your hope to the hopeless!
Love Mika
