Have there been irregularities concerning the relief effort that Curtis Relifor initiated? It is interesting that since his 'relief' work, he himself has stopped working and is now living soley on the money that he is collecting for Katrina relief.
I've also heard that he had brought homeless people up from Los Angeles and was trying to pass them off as Katrina victims.
Lastly, before giving your hard earned cash and/or supplies to someone for disaster relief shouldn't you know something about their past? Have they ever committed or been convicted of a crime? Are they financially stable enough not to be tempted into dipping their hands into the relief jar?
In the wake of the Katrina disaster, we all wanted to help as best we could. Lets make sure that our help is actually getting to the people that need it.
While it is important to 'Follow your Heart' it is also important to 'Follow the Money' and make sure it goes to those for which it was intended.
