How much of the apathy is due to the looting?
EVERYONE....SEND $$$ to the SALVATION ARMY.....that's the BEST WAY TO HELP!!! THEY can be trusted!
Maybe it is because a lot of us do not trust the RedCross anymore. Our donations are going to other organizations, like the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, etc.
You know, dem "tousand points o light", that do it because it needs to be done, not because they pay the high level execs "mucho dinares", and have spendy TV commercials every time there is a disaster...
The apathy is due to the fact that during 9/11 money was sent to the Red Cross and misused.
I will not send to the Red Cross ever again. I suggest the Salvation Army. No reputation as ever abusing funds.
My Dad served in WWII and hated the Red Cross. He said they charged for everything they "gave" to the GI'S. He wasn't alone. He refused to give them a dime. After 9/11, they used donated money to buy new computers and office furniture. Their President makes $500,000 a year. I give to the Salvation Army. My Dad said they were the ones who gave to him. If you'll notice behind Shepard Smith and the others you'll see Salvation Army Vans serving food and drink to the refugees on the bridge. They managed to get there. Where is the Red Cross? In Baton Rouge, the Red Cross bought the food, but the Southern Baptist Churches are cooking and serving it. BTW, Clinton said that the European Union has offered to send us gasoline. They'll probably send us 5 gallons by UPS.
