Texas Woman Shows Up With 400 Burgers For Flood Evacuees – Gets SICK Response From
Red Cross
It's especially troubling to think it could come from an organization that is as well
known as the American Red Cross, but the evidence is stacking up against them.
The Red Cross was started in 1881 by nurse and teacher Clara Barton.
While many haven't paid a whole lot of attention to the issue, just shifting their donations
to other channels, the Red Cross has officially completely overstepped.
In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, The Red Cross showed up in full force along with the National
Guard, FEMA, and many concerned citizens, looking to help.
The citizens who were rallying support from their local communities weren't very well
accepted by the Red Cross though, which doesn't seem to play well with others.
While we'd like to believe that this was just one big misunderstanding about protocol, the
story from one pregnant lady who showed up with hundreds of burgers to help paints a
picture that leaves the Red Cross looking like red tape and us wondering if our donations
should go elsewhere.
They were desperate for a hot meal!
The Red Cross proceeded to try and load the warm, ready to eat burgers into an ice chest.
This is not a normal reaction for me but either exhaustion or pregnancy hormones got the best
of me because I simply couldn't find the words to fight back The Red Cross was not there
at 6:30 am when we got there to find we had no food to serve the 100s of evacuees who
had sat on a bus all night and some who had not eaten in 24 hours.
I do care how they treated the people of our community when they arrived!
These supplies/donations were made by OUR LOCAL community members and the Sky Hope Network
and the Red Cross wanted them all shipped to their warehouse for processing and distribution.
' Say what?!
We need these things here, locally, NOW.
And while we refused to turn away anyone who came on foot or by other means or any other
church, group, or organization asking for suppliesthe Red Cross tried to prevent us
from sharing OUR donations.
The way, these two representatives of Red Cross treated local people who were donating
their time and spending countless hours away from their kids and families in the wake of
such tragedy hurts my heart.
" The Red Cross may have made a lot of mistakes, but trying to push around a pregnant lady
who'd been on her feet all day was an obvious no-no.
If Hurricane Harvey taught us anything, it's that it takes a lot to kill a Texan, and the
Red Cross bit off a little more than they can chew if they think they're going to get
in the way of Texans helping one
another survive.
