We all relied on the Government to help us and give us help or financial assistance but...
When has the government, any government, in this goddamn country been efficient at responding to such calamities? With this being part of the country's geography since time immemorial you would have thought they've already known how to prepare for it but NO.
It's a fact of life in living in this country. You can never rely on the government to do anything properly for you. I am not better off myself and wasn't able to give anything but if anyone's able to, better off to hand over the money to a charity that can manage it better.
