Welcome to the Willis University. This is a site dedicated mostly to the world's natural disasters. Also some random inserts of global news from credible sources and also a mixture of opinion. Some of the opinions are not suitable for all. Please remember this is my opinion only. Thanks to all for the guidance I've been given.

3 of the worst hurricane donation organization programs.

Holy crap batman here are some of the most ridiclous organizations you can spend your hard earned money on. I found these sited on the link listed below. Can you really be serious that some of these organizations will help out hurricane relief. I think the hurricane helped out some of these instead. Hurricane Disaster Relief Organizations (as of September 26, 2005) For your convenience in identifying disaster relief organizations, the following list represents organizations appearing on the USA Freedom Corps website (http://www.usafreedomcorps.gov/) that have also been approved for participation in the 2005 Combined Federal Campaign. 1803 Alley Cat Rescue (301)699-3946 www.saveacat.org EIN#52-2279100 - Dedicated to helping stray, abandoned and feral cats. ACR is working towards ending feline overpopulation, and ending the killing of healthy cats in shelters. 12.2% ---The hurricanes that hit New Orleans have helped by getting rid of many of the stray cats in this region of the US. Don't get me wrong I do own 3 cats myself but this does help control the pet population. Maybe Bob Barker should ask for more hurricanes at the end of The Price Is Right. " This is Bob Barker please America lets hope for a hurricane instead of having your pets spayed or neutered." 0504 American Cancer Society (800)ACS-2345 www.cancer.org EIN#13-1788491 - Largest funder of non-governmental cancer research resulting in 32 Nobel Prize winners and breakthrough discoveries. Provides community-based early detection/prevention programs and patient assistance. 22.6% ---These "breakthrough discoveries" and "Great America Smoke Out Day" may have helped but people die everyday from cancer. All the research is not helping fight cancer. Sure we are saving SOME lives but we are wasting money at the same time. 1485 Trickle Up Program, Inc. (212)255-9980 www.trickleup.org EIN#06-1043042 - Through our economic empowerment model of business training, seed grants, and support services, we enable the poorest worldwide to start their own microenterprises. 14.3% ---Trickle Up Progam?????????? What is this???Maybe they should rename it to the "Hurricanes of 2005 tore up program." The economy will now "trickle" down. Great Program did a 3rd grader come up w/ this? Or a 85 year old congressman? So are the people in New Orleans now going to start their own microenterprises? There are some more programs out there just as useless as these.
