As to not lose sight of the mission of EHF, and
their dedication to underprivileged and abused
children, the decision to reschedule the event came
as a result of unfortunate circumstances due to the
immediate and unending needs of all Hurricane
Katrina’s victims. Moreover, Sheila has had to
endure a personal strife from this devastation as
much of her family previously residing in the New
Orleans area have been displaced and some still
unaccounted for.
