It's a friggin NATURAL DISASTER. Why would you think everyone would be back in their homes just one year later????? It doesn't work that way. This is real life. It takes money, manpower, determination and basically enough workers do to the work over thousands of miles of devastation!
Do you know there are still people w/o their homes and businesses in Pensacola two years after Hurricane Ivan???? The people there can't find enough workers do do the jobs.
This idea that things go back to "normal" after a MAJOR disaster are silly and irresponsible. I have lived thru a small hurricane (Frances....two years ago in Florida). We lost pat of our roof, all of our landscaping and our septic system. It took us almost a year to recover from just that! Apparently you have never been thru a major disaster (I went down 3 days after Hurricane Andrew hit). Once you SEE all the devastation and the MILLIONS affected, you'd understand that things SHOULDN'T be back to normal in JUST a year.
This is reality, Folks. Please get rid of the idea of instant gratification because it doesn't exist in real life! But you ARE CORRECT; we all need to help whatever way is possible. We help thru our church as many others in the U.S. do as well.
