6. So far, in the week since the Hurricane hit, affected families and individuals have been given $750 for groceries.

At least 200 people lost their lives. Many thousands also lost everything - people need food, water, shelter, clothing, medical supplies, building materials... Roads and bridges need to be rebuilt. Cell service and power need to be restored.

FEMA is out of money - but spent well over $1 billion to feed, house, give medical, etc. to people who entered the US illegally.
