Two years ago, almost to the day, Chantelle Paige watched the news and wanted to help. Hurricane Katrina just roared into New Orleans and the pictures she saw were devastating. From her home in the San Francisco area, she took action. She built a page on Myspace promoting a benefit concert for the hurricane victims as well as selling relief bracelets with the proceeds going to victim aid. “My heart went out to everyone... that's why I chose it as my senior community service,” Chantelle said.
Her efforts took on an added boost when R&B artist Ciara saw one of her postings looking for help.
