Good point..while everyone is out today..if you don't see a matching funds sign in a store you shop at..ask to see a manager and have him call his manager..etc. and ask why.
It's all over the news, Rose. Everybody is donating.
How do you know that they haven't contributed to the effort? Have you talked with them?
A woman just called into Rush and said her sister was visiting in NO...and has been stuck at a hotel in the French Quarter...yesterday, the hotel charged all of the guests $75 for a seat on a bus that was coming to take them to Houston Airport...
The bus was confiscated and never made it...and they all had to re-check into hotel...no elec. no toilets...so this morning the hotel took all of the visitor WALKING to the Convention center...and now she can't get a hold of her sister...
The hotel CHARGING for a seat on a bus...!!!
BTW, I know you were offering your house, but I have to say, after seeing and hearing about a lot of what is happening, I don't know that I would feel safe just getting a "random" person or family to stay with me....

Thanks for the thread, I want to know where are the food companies, the clothing companies, Heinz, Libby's, Hunts, Del Monte: The GAP, Old Navy, Dillard's?
I'm to angry right now to even type. Why are the above not donating supplies, where are the hotels, chain restaurants, shoe stores, etc? Taking matching fund?"
Thery are, there was a whole list this AM.
Lilly is donating truckloads of drugs and $1 million to the Red Cross, for just one example.
