Edit:

I spend .00 at "China Fun" on vegetable fried rice easily! So donating .00 to help those in need is cake for me!
Unless you have a "legit" website, I’m not texting nor do I vouch for "Haiti" 90999. You need to post a "legit" website! Sorry but I just don’t trust random numbers. Come legit or don’t come at all!
http://www.ksee24.com/news/local/81371092.html Ok, I see where you’re getting your information from. I’m sorry for coming off rude like. I owe you an apology. ( ^ _ ^ ) There happen to be people who use catastrophic events such as this for their own personal gain. I also did "Haiti" 90999 just a few seconds ago and received a confirmation text. Thanks for answer S.J.
I checked it out EeeBee and it’s legit. I really hope that all the money goes to helping the people of Haiti. I really do.

I of course would like to apologize to the world as well. I am sorry that my tax dollars go to paying dues to the useless UN. I am sorry that we are not feeding hungry Americans with that money. I am sorry that my tax dollars go to disaster relief to ungrateful countries. I am sorry that the US gives any military aid to the misogynistic theocracy that is saudi arabia.

With all the disaster relief going on right now I went looking around relief agencies like the Red Cross for ways I could help even though I’m dead broke, but couldn’t find how to donate "stuff" (clothes, blankets, shelf-stable food, etc.) instead of money. Is/are there particular agencies that specifically take items instead of or in addition to money?

I really want to do something to help with disaster relief. Are there any organizations that will send the money I raise to the people who need it?

Don’t know what to do in San Francisco. Feel very upset and fustrated. Been living in San Francisco very long and here are my problems:

The city is very expensive. It has been expensive for the past 40 years. Why is SF so expensive?

A lot of rich people live in SF and donate money to causes, however, we keep hearing that SF is broke? Why?

Why are the streets so dumpy?

Why did we get screwed out of NBC access on tv and no one complained?

How come big celebrities don’t come to SF? We always see their pictures in LA, NY, London, etc.

Does LA get more earthquakes than SF?
We didn’t move because my parents are immigrants and their English is limited. All our relatives are here.

In terms of dumpy, when I visited, LA, the homes were detached and had lawns. The homes looked clean. The plumbing looked fairly new. Our streets are re-tared so the entire blocks looks very patchy.
Went to Burlingame, the streets are not patchy looking.

There is a lot of litter on our streets.
Food prices are more expensive.
What did Willie Brown do for SF?

Please, only people who understand this reply. I realize at first, you’ll say in CA, no sha-beep you should get it. But with 15% deductible and coverage is very limited, is it worth is.

It costs more than Homeowners Policy and if an EQ levels out all of Los Angeles, are you guaranteed money? Or will the company go bankrupt and I’ll get nothing?

Got my hair dyed a while back, stupid lady left it on too long and my roots turned bright red! So then I used color oops and it brought the rest of my hair back to my natural brown (yay) unfortunatly the red is like YELLOW now. Idk what to do. I’m pretty much out of money. Would a root touch up work? I tried dyeing my hair again before the color oops and it didnt cover the red but maybe if it’s yellow it would work? Idk please help. I can’t afford a proffessional and I dont wanna mess my hair up anymore.

Anyone who owns a business in New Orleans or Gulf Coast of the US should have hard time digesting that so many poor African Americans have been mistreated after the hurricane.

How can you all sleep at night and let this problem continue TO THIS DAY????

To make it worse, corporate folks made big dollars off of FEMA contractors who gave free trailors and big money to businesses to supply for needy people, yet the money should have gone to the poor starving families.

How can you people sleep at night and not feel terrible over this?

This happened when a tornado hit our town, my neighborhood. amd my home last March. I haven’t received anything from FEMA or the State of GA (DFACS) when given money to help replace our food, etc. which I lost in the disaster. If so, what forms do I file. That is all I received from them. Anyone know.

I’m VP for the Red Cross Club at my school & i was trying to think of something we could do to raise money for the Hurricane Relief project. National Red Cross wants to raise over 1 million dollars by December 1st. So we want to contribute to that. We have a band at your High School that usually performs locally so i was thinking we set up a gig for the band and have them play to raise money but i also wanted to add activities while the band is playing, but i couldn’t think of anything. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, if this project happens, i was thinking of naming it "Rock the Relief"

hurricanes have increased in intensity and numbers drasticaly. there has been more volcanic eruptians, earthquakes, more intense thunderstorms, and tsunamis. also, the climate is shifting. i believe global warming is a rising factor that is being ignored. something needs to be done before it is too late. governemtnis more worried about money then it is man kind. what are your views?
i understand that its nautral and will occur no matter what, but its the intensity and how we speed the proccess up that worries me. sea level is rising, this is another problem occuring due to the melting glaciers.

They show a picture of a dirty kid crying, and try to force you to send them money.

1. All babies cry. Even a child of a celebrity or a king cries and gets dirt on their hands. Am i supposed to send money to billionaire babies too?
2. Even if the kid depicted is in fact poor, what are the odds that my money will help that particular kid.

I am sick of false advertisement !!
Who can i sue to put a stop to this tyranny and blackmail and extortion??

I don’t see why the united states (which i live in) has to help every country out there with eveything. We butt in whenever they need help but can’t they just help themselves? but when we don’t the rest of the world is appald by our actions. when the tsumani hit we had to send aid and money. we are the "super power" but yet countries hate us. people want to come into here but if we would try to help them out then it would be bad for us but yet we are over in Iraq fixing their problems. My question is WHY DO OTHER COUNTRIES REALLY LOOK AT THE USA FOR HELP?!

Help. I have resided in FLORIDA in my home for years.
After Hurricaine Wilma I had a fence replaced . I went by my survey and the city of Wilton Manors inspection passed the fence.
My new next – door neighbor who recently purchased the property states that according to the survey he had done,My fence is 2 feet on his property.
He wants a fence up on his property line.

I don’t want to get caught up in a law suit or spend money needlessly.
I plan on staying in my house for long time.
Any thoughts?
The City who passed the inspection on the fence holds no liability?

There was a TV Show in the 1990′s (or mid to late 1980′s?), I think a chick-flick series about romance like "Thirtysomething" or "Once and Again" (but I’m not sure). One of the two big California earthquakes damaged their sets so much they shut it down instead of spending more money to fix everything and continue it. It was a new series that hadn’t aired yet, so they weren’t going to go beyond the usual financial risk for it. The actors I believe were let out of their contracts to go do other things. Later the episodes that were produced did air (less than a season since it didn’t premiere yet), maybe 6 to 12 episodes or so, and the Critics and viewers loved it and it got good or okay ratings but it was too late to bring it back.

What was this show? I read about it in a newspaper years ago so I know it happened.

I just want to know how much good all that prayer and faith does when there’s a disaster somewhere in the world? I get really choked when I see the pope praying for the people of some tsumani or earthquake disaster. Don’t you think those people would be better served by the Vatican selling some of those priceless works of art and donating money to help them find real solutions? They don’t need prayers, they need real help. Especially when the pope is running around in Gucci loafers. Don’t you find that to be hypocritical??
I’m not saying Christians don’t contribute to charities at all. There are somwe great agencies doing great work out in the world. But I do find many people that think all the victims need is a prayer and they’ll be fine. And it really p***es me off that the church figurehead is such a total hypocrite.

If the federal government provides 0 million in disaster relief to the people of Louisiana after a hurricane, then 80% of that money is spent in Louisiana. If the money is repent over and over at a rate of 80% in Louisiana, then what is the total economic impact of the 0 million on the state?

Pretty much everywhere you look, from right after the hurricane until now, volunteer church groups are in 100 degree heat and 100% humidity, replacing roofs, rebuilding houses, clothing, feeding, paying for utilities and appliances and just generally meeting the needs of those in dire straits. They supply the money, materials and manpower for the work. They live in tents and campers, use family vacations …
There really aren’t any non church groups noticably active.
Can anyone tell me of some non church groups or individuals active in this or other such American disasters?
Please be specific.

California, The Earthquake Yesterday
A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale has hit Mexico. Two million Mexicans have died and over a million are injured. The country is totally ruined and the government doesn't know where to start with providing help to rebuild. The rest of the world is in shock.
Canada is sending troops to help the Mexican army control the riots. Saudi Arabia is sending oil. Other Latin American countries are sending supplies. The European community (except France) is sending food and money. The United States, not to be outdone, is sending two million replacement Mexicans. God Bless America!
