Donations from Tennessee schools being seized meant for Hurricane Helene victims

Resident says “They're taking the donations in Tennessee. Red Cross, FEMA, TEMA have come in and confiscated all of the donations that were given to the local high schools”

“They're taking control of additional volunteer schools. And if anyone, now, if anyone wants access to the donations that they were given for help, they have to go through an approval process.

All monetary donations taken and moved into a TEMA account, which means that they won't even be used fully for the Helene disaster.
‌
It's like they're turning local relief efforts into a mess of bureaucracy. When did it get this bad? Because FEMA is supposed to come in. Red Cross is supposed to come in and hand you water and give you donations and help and be there for you, but instead they're confiscating it and arresting people who are actually trying to help. Yes.
‌
The volunteers, they've been told to leave and can't even help people anymore unless they're trained by the United Way, the same people who were already out there making a difference, and now they're being pushed out and told to go home or they will be arrested.
