Juvenile's RE-JUVE-NATION Adopt-a-Family program

JuvenileHip-Hop concerts and fund raisers across to help find homes for the victims of the hurricane Katrina disaster.

RE-JUVE-NATION promises to help 'rejuvenate' the lives of the people or families they choose through RE-JUVE-NATION's "Adopt-a-Family" program. The program concerts and fund raisers and are being led by southern rappers, including UTP Recording artists from New Orleans, and Dallas Mavericks star, Jason Terry, will be donating the services of all of the talent associated with his Tha Reason record label of Atlanta. 100% of the money collected is promised to go to relief efforts.

Brian "H3" Peters, President of HTRE, issued the following statement: "With the response that we're getting from big-time ballers and rappers everywhere, and the outpouring of affection we're seeing for Juve and everyone affected by this monumental tragedy, the opportunities for gigantic "Hip Hoop" fund raisers are as endless as the need for shelter, homes and a lasting sense of security for the victims. None of us can stop caring or contributing until the job is completed." H3Enterprises is the first publicly traded company devoted exclusively to the Hip Hop culture and community.

"Adopt-a-Family" is a program everyone can actively participate in. One hundred families from Hattiesburg, Mississippi have already been "adopted" through the efforts of OneNJ and Ebony Deriso of the Mac-Melius Agency, the creators of the "Adopt-a-Family" program. The RE-JUVE-NATION program is currently in discussions with the NAACP to administer its relief efforts.

Jason Terry also intends to team up with some of the reigning kings of Hip Hop to help rapidly expand and promote H3's "community conscious" HipHopSodaShops across the states of Georgia and Texas. Juvenile has already signed on with H3 to begin building SodaShops all over Louisiana . Each of these youth-oriented restaurants will become a further extension of TeamH3's on-going relief, rebuilding, and rejuvenation efforts for the people and places devastated by Katrina.

I think what juvenile's doing is the right thing. He's from the south. He has great appreciation for the south. He represents the dirty south in all his records, and now he's helping in this devastating, trying time. That's what i like to hear... Black celebs who haven't forgotten where they came from. He blew up, became famous, and still kept it live in the hood... Unlike some black celebs. Acting too good for da hood. You don't need the fame if that's the case. Put your money to use. There's plenty of ways to contribute to reconstructing the south. I'm not a celeb, but i'll stop and buy a shirt to help the relief. I think eveyone in their right mind should help in any way possible. Every dollar helps ya know...

hi! i'm anna hatch from ocean springs, mississippi. I am a 31 year old single mother (getting no help from their father). I have a son, austin (11) and a daughter, brittany (13). We are currently living in a fema trailer on my property due to the hurricane damages. We have the trailer, but not much to put into it but ourselves! we are in desperate need of everything!!! everyone has seen our family member's story (my kids' aunt and uncle) on the news. The "katrina song" by 3 doors down even features him. He is the one who said he was holding his wife with one hand - and kids and grand kids with the other hand... And the house filled with water and split apart. She washed out into the water and was never found. Well, my kids' grandma was her sister. Which makes the kids her niece and nephew. They are dealing with it very well. But it's hard not having that "closure". Knowing where she is and if they will find her. It is unbelievable down here. I have lived here all of my life and never could have imagined!! it really is amazing how little you need to survive, but i will tell you... It's no fun! i am not so much worried about myself as i am my kids. They are trying to adjust and hardly ever complain about it. And to go along with it, i have been helping to care for my father who is out of town and on chemotherapy for lung cancer. I have had to stop making the trips because i just don't trust my car to make that 5 1/2 hour drive any more. So, this has been a very stressful time for me. I always say
