Myself and two other individuals invested allot of time and money into supporting the Blue Roof project in Texas. All we ended up with was bad checks we could not cash. Do not work with anyone remotely involved with the following company. ----------BIG FOOT DISASTER RELIEF------------. They are as fraudulent as they come and will not return phone calls or explain what the problem is with their checks. Hello,

This kind of stuff pisses me off. If you know of anyone else with similar stories feel free to point them here. I'll see where I need to forward this for it to be seen. I'm sure the agency knows about it, but if it gets in the public eye more I'm hoping someone will do something about it. This is another example of a government program gone wild. You all are teaching me a lot by sharing these stories. Christina, thanks for sharing. This kind of stuff pisses me off. If you know of anyone else with similar stories feel free to point them here.

I have 3 sons out there doing the work right now: and the conditions are horrible. Sure, they may have went out there for the Job opportunity, (seeing as decent work is hard to come by all over this country, these days), but they know first hand what its like after a hurricane. Our family went through hell after "Jeanne and Francis" here in Florida. They put themselves into debt to get there, they are sleeping in their trucks most nights, going with out showers, aren't getting enough food and water. They would just like to have a place to pitch their tents and shower each night. These guys work 15+ hours a day and for not that great of pay. And today they called and think they are getting ripped off by the subcontractor the are working for. I have trouble sleeping; worrying about them every night.

There's always a chance of something like this happening when times are tough. It's sad that a company would take advantage of those needing the work. Paul, thanks for leaving a comment.

This has created a surpluss of assistance that allows contractors to take advantage of workers/ making unkept promises and not living up to their obligation to pay for work done. Many out of work desparate people are pouring into the state and being ripped off. Fema should look into these concentration camps and disperse the dishonest.
