OK Hose A,
I appreciate your intentions and it's alright. I'd just like to be clear about mine. I've put the details about "how" on Fred's board because I like
his "Joe Friday" approach, in this instance, and I do not wish to discuss "opinions" as to "why", "why not" or fishing metaphors.
I've only put a minimal link here, because I am not interested in starting a holier-than-thou turd flinging contest as to the correct or "best" way to
help other people. You all can decide that for yourselves. This is a temporary situation, involving poor people who are probabably going to remain
poor, most of them at least. Efforts to help them rise above their circumstance are good and will help some of them or their children farther down
the road. Right now, their cardboard shacks have been blown away. Most of them have some form of tenancy, even ownership, of a little piece of
ground. They need to rebuild their shacks. They do not have to deal with a restrictive permit process. They just need some tarps, 2x4's, nails,
corrugated roofing, whatever, and they will do it themselves.
Help or don't. The details are on Fred's board. I'm not going to discuss or debate it any further here.

And, because of my past trips
I have connections to get a lot of things to help these people. No matter where it is posted. It's about the people needing help, right?
I am busy with other things right now.
If some things are needed I will see what I can do to have them available. Probably in Maneadero. It has nothing to do with me or the BS on this
board.

I've found that when structuring a makeshift camp zip ties and electrcal or duct tape are invaluable..maybe these items should be added to the list of
needs...very inexpensive and easy to transport

Last I saw, a couple day's ago, your friends still hadn't received any checks. Is this still the case? Thanks for the info.
