Diane,
Can you please help us out in Louisiana. Many of our educators have lost everything. Many have been displaced because the schools and classrooms have been flooded and cannot be used at this time. The Louisiana Association of Educators, the NEA affiliate in Louisiana has established on its webpage http://www.lae.org, the 2016 Louisiana Flood Relief Fund. A small amount of $5 or $10 will help our educators.
Thank you
Please help if you can. I will.
I SUCCESSFULLY MADE A DONATION. I HAD TO REMOVE THE HYPHENS FROM MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER!

I tried to contribute but the “Amount”, under credit card information, only registers $0.00. There has to be something wrong with this link.
I was able to successfully make a donation just now. Diane, you should contact your credit card company. They might be blocking it.
Will do. I want to help.
I also just donated with a credit card and had no problem with the link.
I will try again.
I successfully made a donation. My problem was that I had hyphens in my credit card number. Once I removed the hyphens, the site accepted my donation.
Yes, no problems with link if you leave hyphens out. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Diane.
Our semester begins tomorrow, and our pre-service teachers will be doing something to help out!
