Nine.com, an online entertainment gaming site based in Costa Rica has responded to those affected by Hurricane Katrina with a very generous donation of two semi truckloads relief supplies including bottled water, blankets, diapers, pop tarts, and additional nutritional food items which are expected to arrive by truck to the Houston Astrodome Saturday afternoon.
Nine.com has a sincere interest in the people of New Orleans and their recovery since they were sponsoring the Voodoo Music Festival which was to be held in City Park in New Orleans over Halloween weekend. ?We chose to sponsor the Voodoo Music Festival because we love the city, the event itself, and what New Orleans stands for and were very excited to be involved in this great event? stated Nine.com spokesperson Jack Abrams. "We have many clients, friends and fellow Ticos (Costa Rican people) whose families have been displaced by this tragic event........ so this is the least we could do" Abrams added "We want New Orleans back to its glory as soon as possible". .
?Our first attempt to help was to send a cargo plane full of fruits to the families in need from our home in Costa Rica immediately after the hurricane hit, but unfortunately we ran into red tape issues with the US powers to be which we will decline to discuss for now? stated Abrams "so we took matters into our own hands". With the help of Marcie Cardell of MAC Presents of Nashville, John Allen manager of Costco in Arlington Texas , Jason Wright of Clear Channel Communications, Nashville office, RE West Trucking, also of Nashville and the management of the Astrodome itself , who all sacrificed either their time or assets, we were able to put together the Nine.com relief effort literally within hours?."We now question how the US federal government could not move as fast." Abrams goes on to say. "We literally were able to find truckloads of available supplies just by calling from our home base in Costa Rica thousands of miles away and was able to make arrangements to have them delivered within 12 hours of our efforts directly to the people who need them the most those displaced New Orleanders....... watching these tragic events unfold on CNN in Costa Rica, it appears something in the US government is broken and needs to be fixed immediately" Abrams goes on to say "Our fellow Americans deserve to be cared for immediately and effectively by their respective governments when a disaster of this magnitude hits...... whether it's Central or North America or even South America..... We are all considered Americans ...... many North Americans don't realize that but Costa Rica was discovered by Christopher Columbus also and we will do our part to help our fellow Americans" Abrams concluded.
