A true American horror story and a sad commentary on the woeful response to the disaster by most government agencies at all levels. Thankfully, Gaspare and his family are safe. Everything else is replaceable, but painful. I must agree with him about the Red Cross.I don't know if The Salvation Army is on the scene, but it is a much more worthwhile organization for your donations and contributions. Hang in there, Gaspare. It's no consolation, I know, but many have been through the same and worse. There is a tomorrow and you and yours can put this tragedy behind you.
