Here's Hoping Haiti's relief isn't Katrina-ized

While all the support and concern has gone toward the Relief for Haiti, and rightfully so, I can't help but wonder about the Relief we Americans gathered for the victims of the Gulf Coast 5 years ago after Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans and parts of Mississippi. We all collectively gathered close to 800 million dollars (telethons, red cross, internet donating sources, etc.) to go towards the rebuilding of the southeast region of United States of America and unfortunately Louisiana and Mississippi was lucky if they received a quarter of that money, I recently traveled to New Orleans (summer of '09) and there is still a lot of work that needs to be done; there are portions of the region that look like earthquake ravaged Haiti (a virtual war zone of poverty and chaos); the money came in quickly during that first year but it slowed greatly after that

Here's hoping Haiti doesn't fall victim to a financial disaster after Mother Nature treated them so cruel. They need and should receive every penny the citizens around the world is contributing and then some for the foreseeable future

So the next time someone ask you to donate to the Haiti relief fund ask yourself who's responsible for helping and aiding the victims in the Gulf who've yet to recover from their own natural disaster...and where the hell is the remainder of the 800 million dollars?! It all should have went to the Gulf Coast
