I tell how has been helpful to me, the corinne thean church Cincinnati Corinthian Baptist Church from there that i got the strength to withstand the foolishness of fema because what fema do to people you know, is criminal. Like i said, after they have ruined my health they throw a few dollars at me, is that really help . When now i need to pay to see a doctor, i dont have medical insurance, i told them i have medical needs, they send me a letter back, telling me that they deny my medical needs on the one hand, but fill out some paper saying i dont have Health Insurance they are not forthcoming with any medical assistance that i need and throwing a few dollars at me, after they have driven my health to a very bad state, no, i dont consider that help at all. Let me finish up. By grace of god a fema man returned the do at to washington i believe he was from here. You need to come see our space that we using in my community, fema has come and had lunch with us, one person. I dont even know
Daughters lived had they tried to swim out of their houses, the water only got deeper. I would have lost two children and six grandchildren, okay . So like i say, im glad that they didnt remain in the houses. We were abandoned. City officials did nothing to protect us. We were told to go to the superdome, convention zrp, interstate bridge for safety. We did this more than once. In fact, we tried them all every day for over a week, we saw buses, helicopters, fema trucks but no one stopped to help us, we never felt so cut off in our lives. When you feel like this you do one of two things. You either give up or go in to survival mode. We chose the latter. This is how we made it. We slept next to dead bodies, we slept on streets at least four times next to human fees sees and urine. There was garbage everywhere in the city, in the city, panic and fear had taken over. The way we were treated by police was demoralizing and inhuman. We were cursed when we asked for help for our elderly, we ha
That we got blamed for. I was living at the time in a three bedroom apartment and thank god for that because even though i have six children and 11 grandchildren, the amount of people that was in my house during the storm was 22 because i could not refuse anybody of shelter, okay . We were packed in like sardines. During this time my 22yearold daughter had a threemonth old baby, this child cried constantly because she was uncomfortable, she cant stand being hot. I had a pregnant 22yearold that is in labor as i speak, you know, im praying for her and her baby, okay . I am the grandmother of 11 children, to watch my grandchildren walking and falling in the filth was too much to take, okay . I am now living in college station, texas where i have started a new life. The most wonderful place on earth as far as im concerned. Im not going back to new orleans at least not now. However, we wont be missed because were not wanted there anyway. I know this and everyone above the age of 18 should k
