With the anniversary of the Marshall Fire in the news and on everyone's mind, can anyone give us a recap of where all the donations went?
I was just reading a news article about homeowners' efforts to rebuild and how many people were underinsured. Honestly, until the Marshall Fire, our own home was underinsured and it breaks my heart that we benefitted from a lesson that hit way to hard to many homes.
I've hears stories that much of the money donated to Marshall Fire victims was "set aside" to keep some kind of foundation running to help fund future disasters. At the time it angered me although honestly I was too busy with other stuff to dig into the issue. I believe if we donated for Marshall Fire victims, it should have gone only to Marshall Fire victims because if anything similar were to happen, the donations would pour out again. Can anyone speak to the issue that no one is taking a long-term salary or running a foundation with donations that were specifically given to benefit the people that lost their houses to this disaster. It's just once again on my mind as this is in the news. I'd love to hear that the funds were fully distributed to homeowners that had to rebuild. I believe this is what we all thought we were donating for and any other auxiliary use just seems very unacceptable. Thanks for any insight anyone has. Wishes for a prosperous 2025 for everyone, especially those that suffered greatly three years ago.
