It does my heart good to discover your project. As a life-long photojournalist and teacher, I have almost given up on the almost complete absence of true photojournalism. The mainstream media has turned a blind eye to the everyday struggles of many of our citizens. I encourage you to continue your excellent work and will make it my business to spread the word. Thank you.

Thank you for your project. I was really moved watching the Finding the way home... I am quite surprised nothing is done to really help those people. I don't understand why the poor and middle class people always have to struggle with problems they can't manage without any help from the US government. I guess not being american doesn't help me understand how a country can leave its people in such a situation without trying to give them a real chance to recover.Keep up with the good work !

Thank you for doing this project. Many people think that only poor people were displaced and that is not the case. Many people that had good paying jobs, were lower middle class, middle class, etc. lost everything they had to Katrina. The country, it seems to those of us that lived through it and still live with the struggle to this day, have forgotten about us. There are a few people that still think that it is important for the nation to remember that hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and are still struggling with the red tape in our government bureaucracy. These are just a few of the stories. There are far too many to highlight. Thank you again for this project. I can only hope that people will see this and realize what people are still struggling with two years after Hurricane Katrina. I wouldn't wish federal government "assistance" on anyone in this country after witnessing it first hand and through documentaries such as this.

You hear about how bad N.O. is nothing compared to seeing the actually families that are involved. It is a very sad situation for everyone involved except the LA government.Houston has a problem now with all the Katrina victims who came to this area . Probably another story whole story for Media Storm.Greeat job.
