Blogger Tracks Katrina Donations in His Site Americans Aiding Americans



Blogger Chuck Simmins is tracking donations to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, just as he did tsunami relief in his "Stingy List". His site is titled "Americans Aiding Americans."

As I did with the "Stingy List", I will be documenting private American giving for Hurricane Katrina relief. This will include individuals, groups and companies. As I did before, each item will be cited so that you, the reader, can know that I actually found the information.

The "Stingy List" was dominated by pharmacutical companies, who donated tens of millions of dollars of their products. That is unlikely to be necessary in this case. I'm hoping that companies that make trailer houses, modular houses, etc. will step up with some in-kind donation. The oil companies will certainly be among the large donors when this is all over, as well. It may very well be up to us, individual Americans, to donate a dollar more than we can spare and become the reason that Americans Aiding Americans succeeds.
