Sorry, I didn’t read carefully and missed the reference to Lincoln Ave. (Which for other Freepers, is parallel to Midland Ave - check Google Maps)
I suspect that some of our FR brothers and sisters don’t have a clue about the area and people who you are helping. Even if they were Obamma supporters, they are still children of God, and they need help to get back on their feet.
As others have mentioned, Staten Island used to be referred to as a “blue collar” area. The beach areas, in particular are full of honest hard working people. They work their tails off to pay a mortgage and pay tuition to keep their kids out of public schools. Most of their “wealth” is what eve requity they might eventually have in their homes. Many can’t afford to retire on SI.
Shame on those who encourage others to not help, even if it were true that the folks in need voted for 0bammy.
I ask them to not discourage help to others, and, at least, say a prayer for those in need
Thanks. I am forwarding the initial request to people I know who might be interested in sending help.
