Red Cross Shelter in Tucson
Topic: Relief Efforts
Just a note about the short-lived shelter here in Tucson, while I found things a little disorganized, the group, as a whole, both volunteers and "guests" were amazing people.
It's an experience I'll never forget.

I was surprised to get negative feedback from people about going to help at the shelter. With all the negative media about looting and assault happening in New Orleans the week after Katrina, I can understand some concern over my well being, but to punish the vast majority of folks based on the actions of a few is really counterproductive in my mind. These people needed help.
My faith that most people are good people was reaffirmed at the shelter.
