Although the FEMA employee's piece posted by Fastest H-Town Realtor is grammatically & spelling challenged, it seems written by an actual participant giving his true observations and beliefs. It's very sad that he attributes some of the problem to race, but it also suggests that the other parts reflect what he actually saw. He isn't trying to be politically correct, just accurate as he sees it.

For these reasons, I think it's worth reading and very sobering. It reminds us how blessed we are and how much we should contribute to the relief effort.

Let me suggest that anyone who would be inclined to contribute through faith-based entities do so. They seem to do a good job of distributing at the grass roots level without wasting money on bureaucracy. They'll also address spiritual needs, something important to people from that part of the country, based on my experience. For them, it will likely be their root of hope -- -- something they need right now.

Just my 2 cents.
