People who need help or supplies dial 211 and they send volunteers out to your house to help clean up. They also provide the lions share of the support to the shelters and the homeless in them. Those people probably don't look like you or vote like you but that doesn't change the fact that they are in the most dire need of charity. Which I think is kind of the whole idea of donating. Like I said, I don't want to argue, this isn't the time, the place, or the thread. I am just too worked up not to say something. If you want to talk about it some more I'll be more than happy to put on some dry cloths and meet you any where you like.

Churches are doing a lot down here right now but how do you pick which one to give it too. I'm Catholic and the last organization I would donate to is the Archdiocese of Lafayette. These guys have been pretty visible on FB http://www.oursaviorschurch.com/flood. I think they are legit. Give it to who you want.
Its been a rough week, I was fortunate but a lot of my neighbors weren't. I am pretty grumpy under normal circumstances, all the water hasn't helped. Acadiana thanks those of you who contributed. |
Well you can just be pissed. United Way is a business and they make money off of peoples donations. People that have donated their whole life to UW couldnt get help from them. A buddy i worked withs 4 yr old little girl was fighting cancer and UW told him to get fd when he asked for help. Another buddies house burned down and lost everything he owned. Guess how much help he got from UW? Yep. None. So u just can go on and be pissed. UW makes millions off of ppls kind hearted donations. Theyre a huge business. When i said local I meant local. Not a local "branch" of a major corporation.
