Say what you want about Oprah...

Red · 09-19-2005

My mother is an Oprah devotee and I was helping her in the kitchen and happened to catch today's show which was the first show of her new season.

She announced that she is personally donating 10 million dollars to help the Katrina victims. She will be building homes, buying food and clothing, etc. She also set up a registry on her website where people can donate by buying items for the homes. If one can only afford to buy a toaster, then that's what they buy. She's got everything to furinsh a house available for purchase and there are even homes if someone can afford to donate the money for that.

I think that's a pretty cool idea and a damn nice donation of money on her part.
