"Hurricane Katrina stole just about everything Sheila Moore had in this world.... So when FEMA told her she qualified for thousands of dollars in emergency assistance, she took it. Then, seven months later, in July 2006, Moore received a letter from FEMA demanding its money back; $14,749.51 to be paid in full in 30 days....The emergency funds were spent on food, clothing, and a used car to get to her full-time job. The car even ended up becoming her home for a while."
"the funds weren't misappropriated at all. The government was asking for her $14,000 back because someone had misspelled her name on some internal paperwork."
