hi Lynn,
it's nice to hear that there are honest, caring people like YOU around. :) Hurrah for you, and for not taking money that you don't need!It's so sad that people are doing that - I think maybe that some people are so jaded, desperate or ruined that they will jump on any chance to get something for free.
Still, there are lots of wonderful examples of kindness coming out of the disaster that we can focus on - all those people volunteering, taking in strangers, donating food and money and shelter. And the people saving others from the flood waters too.
I'm sorry that things suck sometimes. I'm sorry that you have to see those sucky people stealing $$$! But really, it's heartwarming to know that an honest person like you is around. Hopefully your example will make some others think twice and do the right thing. :)
