nobody else that looks at them nobody
else that cares for them the president

thinks he hasn't this pocket he thinks
but uh that Fe came by today think the Y
tells me I don't have my tag so I can't
stop working I said when are you going
to what happened to your tag I lost it
how long will it take to get it back
maybe a few
days that's FEMA well I I I spoke to
FEMA today just just to get to be
realistic um they're going to come in
and give applications nobody's getting
any money the way it works with funer
you have to apply they're going to deny
everybody because you have to go to your
insurance company first and then you
have to appeal it this is this is months
and months of process but right now
there are people that don't have money
but they have they have all the the
loggings got lost in their basements
they have no clothing for their children
they're they're looking they need
clothing they need food they need to fix
their houses they need boilers all the
boilers are gone because the basements
had 8 ft of water so most of them and
most of these people probably 95 to 98%
do not have flood insurance so they're
not going to get any money from the
insurance company and they have to
rebuild their houses and they have to
send their kids to school and they have
no clothing for their children so we
need all the help we can get here um we
need food for the people but here people
mostly need money so they and start
their lives over again right now they're
all walking around they look by lining
like after a war and they they feel lost
and government is uh coming in slowly
but very very slowly as government works
and uh it's going to take a long time
until they so people get help from from

school they have they need new books for
their kids they need new swim for their
kids um they need they need uh uniforms
