Kids Helping Kids After Hurricane Katrina

| Comments (6)

Here it is 3 weeks later, and people all across this great country are still showing amazing acts of humanity to make things a little easier for those whose lives were affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Taylor Rutledge and the backpacks she made for children who found themselves displaced after Hurricane Katrina. Case in point: Taylor Rutledge from Clarksville, Tennessee put together sixty (60) backpacks and loaded them each with lots of fun stuff and necessities... just for kids.

Taylor's parents, Jeremiah and Tawana, have a right to be proud of their daughter. In response to Katrina: A FUN Way To Help!, they submitted this photo, along with the following story describing Taylor's heroic "Hugs For Hurricane Victims Drive".
