So we have all seen that $54 million has been raised by the RED CROSS http://www.redcross.ca/ but I think a lot of people are starting to ask
1. WHERE does that money go?
2. WHO gets it ?
3. HOW fast?
4. WHEN do they get it?
5. WHY aren't they being helped faster ?
I have been following one woman's journey Kimberlee since this started https://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2016/05/empathy-and-fort-mcmurray.html

and here are her most recent tweets and comments (below).
Now I was surprised at her tweets today and wanted to help out. So I asked if I could share them here to bring attention to this, can you help amplify this and get more help to these people. What if this were you? or your mom, sister, friend?
So many live month to month, if we were displaced, where would we go? What help would TRULY be there. Having been through the system a few times more than I like here in BC, I can imagine it is the same everywhere. Praying and sending loving supportful thoughts to everyone that they can get more help and answers sooner than later.
Don't support @redcrosscanada @RedCrossAB @TD_Canada the donations will never reach the evacuees https://t.co/0IMubfz2db— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
Noooooo why not? What can it hurt @JustinTrudeau we want to go home and rebuild please https://t.co/2GafNbT5s0— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
1. Today I leave another city to go to live with strangers who have graciously opened their homes to us, this is what renters ....#ymm— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
2. Are reduced to because our insurance doesn't cover displacement, partners work, Jacobs offers nothing, Red Cross gives 50$ lol ...— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
3. I'm thankful to these new friends I will meet today but I am embarrassed to drain them too but we have to hang on to our little savings— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
4. Until we know for sure whether our belongings are destroyed or not. Our landlord whom became our landlord only may 1 for two whole days— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
5. Does not answer our calls. There are worse then us but nobody is helping them either but the kindness of strangers #ymm #ymmfire— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
6. Stop donating to @redcrosscanada and build a find to rebuild instead and have it run by honest ppl #ymm #ymmfire #goodbyeyegyouweregreat— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
Ok packing the few things we have and our furbabes and off to #stettleralberta but I won't stop asking @RachelNotley @JustinTrudeau whats up— Kimberlee Clemens (@BloomKimberlee) May 9, 2016
