| Established by NSNA Foundation List of schools and contribution form can be found at the end of this message. Over the past four weeks, hurricanes have changed many lives, destroying towns and cities, and changing the outlook of many people. The lives of many nursing students have been interrupted by the destruction of nursing schools, as well as personal losses. There have also been rays of hope amidst the devastation - nursing students from the Gulf area and beyond have volunteered at local shelters offering their skills and compassion to refugees, and nursing schools nationwide have opened their doors to accept some of the 3,000 plus nursing students and faculty displaced by Hurricane Katrina alone. To add to the relief efforts, the Foundation of the National Student Nurses Association (FNSNA) has established the Hurricane Nursing School/Student Relief Fund, which will raise funds to rebuild labs and libraries destroyed by the hurricane and assist nursing students to purchase books, uniforms, nursing shoes, and other items they need for nursing school. Funds will be donated to the schools impacted by the devastation for distribution to the students and/or for use to restore libraries and clinical nursing labs. Schools impacted by the hurricanes are listed at the end of this e-mail. If you know of other schools, please let NSNA know. Individuals as well as chapters may contribute to the fund: * NSNA school chapters may conduct school-wide fundraising projects and submit a contribution from the chapter. * State associations may wish to collect funds at upcoming state conventions and forward them to the FNSNA for the Relief Fund. All contributions are tax-deductible. Individual and chapter contributions will be acknowledged. Individuals contributing to school and state chapter fund-raising efforts that would like NSNA to acknowledge their individual contribution for tax purposes, please attach a list with name, mailing address and amount of donation to the contribution form. Thank you for helping FNSNA and NSNA support those students and schools in need. We sincerely appreciate your efforts!
