I've given gallons of blood, but little cash. Their infrastructure is so poor that only half what you give gets to the people who need it. The other half goes to "administrative expenses". The CEO rakes in 7 figures a year.

Right now, I don't care. We're collecting money at work to send the RC. We're taking a vote tomorrow amongst the employees to forego our Christmas party & divert that money to the RC, I'm pretty sure it will happen.

These people need our help.

Just remember, 99% of the needy won't be the attention of the media. They will continue to sensationalize the 1% of the looters & welfare bums that are cashing in at their neighbors' expense.

Lots of good people need our help.

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?

My family (on Dauphin Island, AL) made it through OK so far... Younger brother had his house gutted by wind and water but they're OK.

Still no word from my Aunt and cousin that live across the bay in Daphne.

My thoughts are with you and your family...

Kirk,

You are right about the management of the RC, especially after 911, that was a fiasco.  But I just had to do something.  You folks really don't know me and where I came from, but it does hurt me (more than you know) to say that "some" and I mean "some, churches & religious organizations may not have all together either.  Many want to do well with a pure heart and they run down there with no organization. Right now it's hard to know which has it together, until that emerges I will probably stick with the RC.  My heart is still sad for these folks.
