We humans have 4 NEEDS food, shelter, air, water. When this last hurricane was coming, I posted, SHELTER NEEDED, it went ONLY to my facebook friends, some right here by me, & some in other states. Guess who responded? The people Ive known decades, from NC, Tx, La., Ca. , but the ones here- one since 1977, others, 6 yrs- NOTHING. The person who helped me, was a man I painted a sign for ONCE. He, started asking around beachside & a young man, said SURE! A TOTAL STRANGER. I went over one evening, & met him, very cool guy, clean place, pretty normal/crazy – my kind of folks. He EVEN said- well, why dont I see, if I can fix your leaking roof- Trailer! Jaw dropper. I will always remember, the people locally, who did not give me, what I NEEDED, a piece of floor, toilet & sink, thats IT. I even bring my own toilet paper & help clean up. Sometimes, give $$ .The ones I used to stay with during hurricanes, moved, his sister took my best friend without telling me. He has rheumatoid arthritis. Thats why I was, in NEED. I said that in my obvious bright Post on FB. I now know, who these people who didnt offer REALLY are inside. Thanks for the information. My memory is LONG. ~Ms. A. age 63.
