I'm devastated by this carnage. It brings tears to my eyes seeing all this. I'm not able to help financially but I'll contribute what I can.

$ 750.00, yes 750 is all your American life is worth. That's what Kamala says shes going to do for the people in western n.c that now have nothing most without a place to go. Their house or town is under 6 to12 feet of mud. No free phone, no $3000 a month, no free housing, and no food stamps. Just $750. But if your a border jumper, here's the red carpet baby. Makes me sick, oh and guess whose doing all the looting ? Yeah they are driving in from all over to loot the little bit the good people have left. The local police have arrested a few dozen. If she wins in November, just make sure your family knows you love them. I don't think we will be here much longer. One more thing. This is now being investigated as a man made disaster. If duke power would of let the water out of the string of dams they operate, alot of this would not of happen. Yes the dams were full as the storm hit. Unacceptable.
