Theresa King has opened her home to Brandy and her family as well as other friends and family members who have found themselves homeless because of Katrina, straining her already limited resources. The show includes an appeal from Ms. King, Ms. Forbes and host Lorelai Kude to Long Beach viewers for material help for this displaced family. Those with interest in contacting Theresa King and Brandy Forbes to offer them assistance can reach them at (562) 490-2705. “Heart to Heart” featuring Hurricane Katrina Survivors Brandy Forbes and her family will debut on Tuesday, September 20th at 6:30 p.m. on LBCTV (Charter Communications Channels 65/69/95).
