One of the big name "help" groups pays their CEO a huge salary, I wouldn't donate to them but they are the one you hear most about on tv, etc. Thanks for the heads up about Carlo's organization.<br />Mary LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-1871669826315675992010-01-15T11:52:35.177-08:002010-01-15T11:52:35.177-08:00Thanks, Kelly, for posting the info on Karen &...Thanks, Kelly, for posting the info on Karen & Carlos.Zoe, ontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149680542541770465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-43919821786851016002010-01-15T09:21:37.721-08:002010-01-15T09:21:37.721-08:00Kelly - Many people have cared and worked for genu...Kelly - Many people have cared and worked for genuine change in Haiti over the years. Two of them were my sister and brother-in-law. My BIL taught people to dig wells that require little cost to maintain and my sister did AIDS education. Some people can channel their outrage into action.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571237220879758640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-33589961819586459042010-01-15T08:54:49.536-08:002010-01-15T08:54:49.536-08:00One must always research an organization before ma...One must always research an organization before making a charitable donation. I'm not sure that I agree that no one cared about Haiti before this happened, I know quite a few people who are stranded there because they were already in Haiti doing mission work and I have read of many other groups that are in the same situation. While it is true that their gov't suffers from corruption we still need to offer our help, we just need to be sure the money flows in the right direction.Diva Kreszlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278102837785791249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-71071490892115788312010-01-15T06:33:07.708-08:002010-01-15T06:33:07.708-08:00Doctors without Borders is who I usually give mone...Doctors without Borders is who I usually give money to for disaster relief.

So many people don't realize this and it's sad that people take advantage. No one realizes that New Orleans wasn't the only city affected by Katrina and it seems to be the only city that can't seem to rebuild. Sad to wonder where the money went.<br /><br />Biloxi, MS and a lot of other cities along the coast line were hit really bad and they are already rebuilt. Different states, different politics.<br /><br />Lots of investigations going on in New Orleans right now. I'm not sure if any of the donated money went to any of the people who are being arrested but I'm sure it is all passed around somehow. It pisses me off for others to take advantage when people are hurting and need help, I totally understand where you're coming from.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454250845191858913noreply@blogger.com
