Donating to the Dunbar Village Victim Assistance Fund- My "Wachovia Experience"
Friday, August 10, 2007 at 1:49PM The Blogmother
Read about the horror at Dunbar Village here.
Today I passed a brand new branch of Wachovia on my way home and made a U-turn to go see if I could make my donation there. First, it is so new that they don't have any customers so when I walked in 18 people were lined up to say "Welcome to Wachovia!" I told them "Okay, THAT was scary."Then I asked them if I could donate to a victim's assistance fund being handled by Wachovia in Florida. They asked for the name: Dunbar Village Victim Assistance Fund and then the city: West Palm Beach Florida. They pulled it up in about 5 seconds. They only would accept cash or check so I had to roll down the street to my bank to get some cash. You can use the Wachovia ATM, but I would rather burn up gas driving a half mile than to pay an ATM fee ( Yes my bank sucks).
When I got back to the Wachovia, they had everything set up to go. They had pulled up the account number for the fund. I handed over my cash and the man gave me a receipt. Three minutes max. So save a stamp and just walk in to any Wachovia Bank near you. Ironically, when I got home to check my mail, I had a cash back bonus award check in the mailbox. Give to the Universe and the Universe gives back to you. Take up a collection at work, family, whatever and drop it off at a Wachovia branch near you.

Thanks for shouting loud and clear and posing a SOLUTION for helping these poor people. And about the NAACP, that is truly pitiful. But I think it goes to show how sick the racism is that we have only defined ourselves in terms of how white racism has affected us. And that guy at the NAACP should be taken to the town square and tarred and feathered. What a sick SOB.

I recently obtained the reporters email address and will contact her Monday to see about setting up a fund for these orphans.
Please pass on the word. Thanks.
