Private Charities Feeding, Clothing Victims, Congresswoman says Avoid FEMA
"Hundreds of reports online about the lack of help from FEMA and the actual sabatoge and vandalism being performed by FEMA employees. While private charities post videos of helping thousands for free. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is warning the public that the $750 offered by FEMA is a loan -not a grant - and that in one year FEMA can collect your property if you do not pay it back. Greene says Avoid FEMA. We agree," says Eugene Delgaudio President of Public Advocate.
