The End of Charity
The impacts of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf South were many and varied. Lesser known than the large number of refugees and the stories of rooftop rescues, is that the hurricane affected many public services that were already in danger, such as schools and hospitals.

FSRN’s Christian Roselund brings us The End of Charity.
