My heart goes out to those rebuilding their lives!
Are there any sound sources that have tracked where all the money has gone? Is this even possible?
There are few things that get me as angry as the misuse of funds from those giving in good spirit to those in need.
Maybe it's all my years working for the government and seeing the abysmal waste of tax payer money and the horrible money management skills by those responsible. Call me a skeptic here, but for good reason.
