Hurricane Victims Accused Of Trashing Donated House

UPDATED: 3:15 pm MDT May 9, 2006

BOWDOINHAM, Maine -- A Maine family is in shock after the Bowdoinham house they donated to a family who lost everything to Hurricane Katrina was trashed and abandoned, reported WMTW-TV in Portland.

Albert and Nancy Poisson of Dresden decided to let William and Frances Gardner and their two daughters live in the house for a year, free of charge.

But last week, the Poissons found some of their appliances gone, their hardwood floor marked up and trash strewn throughout the house.

The Poissons found the Gardners through Catholic Charities of Maine, who said they have been unable to track the family down since they vanished last week.

The Poissons said they can only assume the Gardners were responsible for the mess.

"I'd really like to know why. We would have let them go. There was no money involved," said Albert Poisson.

I have seen these types of situations so many times and the outcome is so often the same. People go out of their way to help others and they inturn abuse the help.

It doesn't always happen like this but there is usually a high percentage chance it will happen.

I have helped numerous people (and I am not bragging) with money out of my pocket and given my time to them only to be let down in the end by being taken advantage of.

I don't do it anymore because of the sour taste it has left in my mouth and has hardened my innerself and want or desire to help them. I am tired of the ungratefulness people have these days.

Call me what you want but for those who have never travelled that road by extending your generosity to people only to be let down and taken advantage of have no say in this matter. You live and learn and have definately learned my lesson all to well although it took me many many years.
