I went to Nicaragua to help humanity -- now get me out of here, please!

I want to serve others, but I don't want to be bored or uncomfortable doing it.

    Too many I in I

    Everything about this woman makes me puke. She pulled her family from here into danger without a second thought. She wants to give? What the fuck? Now she is bitching because, surprise, Nicaragua is a dump.

    I met some folks such as this woman in New Orleans last year. Total fakes. Volunteered but everything had to be their way. They complained about not having a shower or a microwave. They sat at a bar and bragged about their so called help and I quote "I wanted to do something for NOLA", "I felt compelled", "I was ready" I, I, I was all that came out of their mouths.

    Here is miss honey actually ripping her family from a comfortable life into a hell hole and she is actually looking for simpathy. Bitch!!! Go back home and if you feel the need to give... give it to the people that matter - your family.
