evacuees

Posted By: WHAT??? on 2005-09-07
In Reply to: Why is any state taking these jerks in? - My state is, actually my city is.

Where the hell is your compassion for people who could not control what happend???? Not ALL of them are guilty of the crimes we see on TV - you dont have to take them into your home - but if it was YOU - wouldnt you want some place to go???? You need some sensitivity counseling.

Cleveland evacuees
Just heard that has been put on hold for now, on the news. The people do not want to leave to go so far away from their homes (or what was their home).
Is your state taking any evacuees?
Or are they all here in Texas?   I've heard people who are volunteering at the Astrodome say that they throw trash on the floor, drop food, etc.etc. and expect the volunteers (I guess) to pick it up for them.  If your state isn't taking any in, why not?
Albuquerque NM has had evacuees since last weekend

We are even getting some in our small town of Ruidoso.  I can't believe the negative postings I'm reading on this board regarding these unfortunate people.  I'm really surprised. 


 


There was a report out of Dallas how a family took in evacuees and the daughter was raped by one of

I live in a small rural area and they housed some evacuees at a nearby military base
crime went UP in our little community that previously HAD a ~very low~ crime rate. It is a FACT. I'm not saying all NO residents are like that, but MANY seem to be.

My mom was raised in conditions like this poster describes. Mom's parents died when she was 7 (father) and 9 (mother). Her teenage sister (newlywed) raised her and 4 other siblings. They had next to nothing. Not ONE of them turned to a life of crime. Not ONE even graduated high school but they still made good lives for themselves. Life was rough for them, but they didn't blame it on everyone else and cry around about what the president should be doing for them. It is all about RESPONSIBILITY and taking what life throws your way. IMO.
There is a church in Gonzales that is a small church but housing evacuees.

Helping a small church could be the best way to help someone.


 


Their web page says they need everything from personal items to clothing and bedding to food and water, don't forget first aid supplies.  They said you could send money but there's nothing there to buy anyway.


The address is:


Gonzales Church of Christ


1225 South Purpura


Gonzales, LA  70737


Bigger churches have more people, it's the small churches that need outside help and don't qualify for Red Cross or anyone else to help but people like us.
