Back in December, we kicked off the Christmas season by pledging to donate the profit from all early orders of Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? to a relief organization in the city. Well, that campaign has just one week left to go, and today, that relief organization has a name: Rebuilding Together New Orleans.

Rebuilding Together helps low-income disabled and elderly people rebuild their homes. The New Orleans chapter is part of a national network that operates in 865 cities and all 50 states. Rebuilding Together New Orleans has a daunting task and needs money badly to keep its operations running smoothly, considering the overwhelming demand for its services. Our donation is a drop in the bucket, but we hope that you'll consider donating directly to the organization and help New Orleans residents rebuild their lives.

We've raised more than $700 for Rebuilding Together so far. If you'd like to see a breakdown of our costs, check out today's entry on our Adventures in Publishing blog. And even though our campaign ends this month, we'll be down in New Orleans on Feb. 16 to read from our book, raise more money for Rebuilding Together and welcome The Saturn Bar back. More on that in a later post.
