First i wanna thank you all for your support. This is not going to be a temporary relief that we need here. It is going to be a long time before this settles down.
But the reason for this post is to say that the Red Cross is NOT the best way to help the victims in our area. You need to give to local charities and churches.
The Red Cross is recieving hundreds of millions of dollars and yet they are coming to our local charities for supplies.
They Are not .giving all the money to the victims, instead they are using donations for there overhead expenses, unless you specify that your donations are to be used to help the victims. And even when you do that they are likley keeping a percentage.
I assure you the Womens Hope Center gives every penny and every item donated to those who need it. Hospitals and red cross shelter have been calling the Womens Hope Center for supplies.
I personally helped The Womens Hope Center distribute and receive donations.
Louisiana appreciates all the effort and donations you are putting forth. Please dont let your money get ate up down the chain of command from large companies.
The Womens Hope Center does not use any donations and contributions for its employment expenses, infact many of the staff members are going without pay just to provide for the people.
They primarily get ther support from our local churchs. They do not manipulate the people.
Please again if your going to give. Stay away from the large companies trying to get rich off of a natural disaster and using your millions of dollars to ask local charities for there stuff!!!
