As you can see and have probably landed here from searching for them is I have a few free WordPress themes I’ve designed and allow for free use. I’ve literally had 10s of 1000s of downloads but the one I’ve followed up on and am very proud they decided to use one of my WordPress themes is Give To The Gulf

I have no affiliation with them whatsoever and now live in Southern California. However I did grow up on the Gulf coast. My father was born in New Orleans, grew up in Mississippi then I lived in all over southern Louisiana till I was in the 3rd grade then moved to Houston, TX where I lived till I was 23. I have family strewn throughout the area that have been devastated by hurricanes and now are being devastated by the BP oil spill. That’s just a quick synopsis on why I’m happy the Give To The Gulf website has chosen one of my themes to use.

I have not contacted them but according to their blog they’ve delveloped the site to help those along the Gulf of Mexico that are suffering from the oil spill which created an environmental catastrophe. They are gathering assistance from musicians who donating their work for .99 Apple’s iTunes download to be donated to those affected by the Gulf oil spill.

From the Give To The Gulf blog “We do not make a single penny from this effort.   We are an entirely volunteer group of musicians and technologists who have put this program together.  We’ve donated our own time and money to build and host this Web site. Our goal is simply to help in every way we can…..When you download the album or individual song, 100% of the sale (less Apple’s standard iTunes distribution fee) will go directly to the United Way and their relief efforts in the Gulf region.  That is our promise to you.” Please help the fine people affected by the Gulf oil spill and get some good music to boot! Just know that this disaster was a a natural disaster it was one created by a very rich oil company who in the long run will screw anyone out of a dime if they can. And they will

At 7yrs old in Crystal Beach, TX Port Boliver Peninsula along the Gulf Coast

I have fished the Gulf of Mexico from Mississippi all the way down to Mexico with my father. I’ve gone Shrimping from Galveston and over into Louisiana waters with my Grandfather countless times. I remember the waters along Gulf very well and it kills me to see yet another disaster come to the area. My grandparents built a house in Crystal Beach, TX with their own hands, the only help they had was carrying the cast iron bath tub up a flight of stairs. That house along with virtually every other house was completely leveled by hurricane Ike. I have a great uncle that was still shrimping up to just a few weeks ago but now he’s seen oil on the shrimp and his income is gone.

America seems to run to the aid of any country in the world dumping billions of dollars into the relief and rebuilding. I’m pretty sure our government will leave the fine folks of the Gulf of Mexico to fend for themselves. Right or wrong, it’s up to us to help our own. Please go to Give To The Gulf and help today.
