To be honest, I assumed that this was common knowledge.
This person sustained damage during Katrina....roof, interior water damage, etc... They were confined to living in one room due to the roof and subsequent water damage.
A little background on this person...XXX was DFd for a divorce, but has since been reinstated. In the past 8 months the eyes of XXX have been opened and they only occasionally attend meetings. The sporadic attendance is due to the fact that XXX father is an elder. XXXs mother knows that XXX is doubting and told them that if they get DFd again, XXX would be shunned.
So anyway, it was no big deal to hear that the "Brothers" would be doing the repairs on the house.
A couple months ago XXX called....we were shooting the breeze about nothing in particular when I just happened to ask if the house had been fixed yet. XXX told me that the "brothers" had done the repairs and had only a few small things to finish. My reply was "Well, at least you saved some money and only had to pay for materials".
This was when they told me that they didn't save any money because they had to give it all to the society. I was a little shocked when they told me this, but then asked why they had to give it all, why not just some of it. That was when I was told about the form they had to fill out. I quickly asked if XXX would send me a copy of it. I was told that there were no copies, just the original which was kept by the elders that witnessed the signing. But,.....XXX told me that their dad was one of the elders involved and he had more of the forms.....they would get me one if I wanted it.
XXX called back a half an hour later and told me that they couldn't find them. Bummer! Oh well, I didn't think it was a big deal and told them to forget about it.
I really thought that this was common knowledge and someone had one posted online somewhere. I was just wanting an original, not a copy.
So,....do I have evidence...no, sorry I don't. Like I said, I didn't think it was that big of an issue at the time....I had heard that this happened in Florida as well from an earlier hurricane.
Surely, there has to be someone else out there with knowledge of this.
