That's true. Please remember that I have tried to get very rich celebrities to help with my victims/survivors 224 613 of crimes access to practical information campaign and some of them really seemed to get it quickly. I had one Villages Daily Sun reporter-- Gary Corsair-- ask about my work when he was in the neighborhood back in 2007. He did want to look at my correspondence but I said no as I did not know him and I have always been quite cautious about whom I bring into my work as I have found out the hard way that some people can be very two-faced. This applies to rich and poor alike. I certainly do not think that the poor have a monopoly on virtue and honesty.

A church/synagogue/mosque/temple is one of the first places victims of crimes used to come when the government had not much of anything in the way of assistance or support groups and the like. There are a very large number of church connected groups in the National Organization for Victim Assistance Directory of Victim/Witness Assistance providers. At least there were in the 1992 Directory when I was writing so many of these seeing what they would like to see in community libraries from 1992 through 2000 or so. http://www.trynova.org/
