Donations to Harvey victims

[jazluvr]

I haven't seen any threads or even posts about donating to the victims of Harvey. I found you can donate directly and very securely through paypal if you have that.

But I urge all to donate via their preferred methods. They need all the help they can get.

Yep, Lakewood church wouldn't open its doors to the people in need during the worst days of Harvey. Yet they where taking donations lol, after the backlash osteen got he finally open the doors for shelter of his huge church. It sickens me that people like these men of God exist, they are all the same.

I actually called pal to talk to them about donating to charities. Celebrities and many people donate, you just have to be careful and do some research about it. I can't speak for the money actually getting to the intended resources, but many do. They told me to post this here.

You make a good point. Too bad there are people who take advantage of a situation, (basically corrupt) And there are an awful lot of them out there.
Your statement is a welcome sign to all who wish to donate, but be careful of scammers and scumbags.

So many people actually do donate a LOT of money, and I'm sure they don't want a lot of it to get pocketed by corrupt politicians, or other people who can get their grubby hands on it.

bigsmoothh's post about that corrupt pastor is disheartening for sure, Im going to look his name up and see if i come up with any info. Got me curious now. Sucks what some people do in the name of religion.
