Reply #40: these people could have been helped [View All]

It seems pretty clear to me that they were depressed and despondent over being evicted. I doubt many of us can envision what it must be like to see your home go due to flood, endure the experience they possibly had to (were they Superdome refugees?) and then face eviction because of nonpayment. And then to face being out on the streets? It had to be agonizing.

I feel for the child who was not at home. What will happen to her when she discovers her family is gone?

All that money that was spent in Iraq would have purchased new homes for all of these victims. How I'd much rather see my tax dollars go to help out a fellow American instead of the killing and torturing of those in another country.

This is just heartbreaking. There is no other word for it.
