With donors worn out, charitable giving dries up | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

With donors worn out, charitable giving dries up | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "AUSTIN — When Hurricane Rita blew the roof off Jane Moore's Port Arthur home three years ago, a faith-based group helped put her house and life back together.

'They provided such a tremendous service to me,' she said. 'Not just the home, but the personality of the volunteers and their caring about me and my children.'

Now, the 47-year-old bank employee again finds herself in a shelter hundreds of miles from her hometown, wondering what damage Hurricane Ike may have done to the house she has lived in all her life."
