For five fearful days after Katrina, Marina Hall couldn’t find her 85-year-old mother, who is blind and has Alzheimer’s.Hall, 58, a waitress at the Old Coffee Pot in New Orleans for 20 years, normally takes care of her mom at home with the help of a nurse. But, because of an infection, Mary Virginia Bonnett was a patient at Tulane Hospital when Katrina hit. Hall wouldn’t leave the city without her. When Bonnet was evacuated by helicopter to a hospital in Covington, La., Hall was not allowed to go withher nor told her destination.

Hall was evacuated to a shelter in Lafayette, La. “That was the start of my mother’s breakdown”, says Hall’s son, Cameron Bonnett, 34, who evacuated New Orleans before the hurricane. He got a call on his cellphone from the shelter saying his mother was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, he says.

After many frantic calls, Hall and Bonnet learned of Mary Virginia’s whereabouts. After a few days, the three were reunited and have been staying at the home of a friend in Prairieville, La., near Baton Rouge. Bonnet says his mother cries less now, but the family’s troubles aren’t over. His mother’s home, which she rented, and the house he owned down the street were destroyed. He says he’s filed paperwork and made phone calls for assistance, but it isn’t enough. The aid doesn’t match the soaring rents in theBaton Rouge area, he says. “You can get funds but not what you really need –a roof over your head”, he says.
