Housing Repair Costs

MY NAME IS ROBERT GREEN. IN OCTOBER 2008, I STOOD ON THE STAGE SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH BRAD PITT FOR THE OPENING OF "MAKE IT RIGHT." I TOLD MY FAMILY’S STORY OF OUR HURRICANE KATRINA'S TRAGEDY. WE FLOATED ON THE ROOF OF OUR HOUSE FOR TWO BLOCKS IN 25 FT OF RAGING WATERS. WE LOST OUR HOME, OUR COMMUNITY, AND THE WHOLE NORTH SIDE OF THE LOWER 9TH WARD. OUR STORY AND THE EVENTS MY FAMILY LIVED THROUGH, INFLUENCED "MAKE IT RIGHT'S" INTENTIONS TO HELP REBUILD ALL THE HOMES FOR THE FAMILIES OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I SUPPORTED BRAD PITT AND "MAKE IT RIGHT" FROM DAY ONE. I BECAME THE FACE FOR THEIR PROGRAM AND WENT AROUND THE COUNTRY SPEAKING ABOUT BRAD PITT. BRAD PITT AND I HAD A WRITTEN AGREEMENT TO REPAIR MY HOUSE, IF I STOOD BEHIND "MAKE IT RIGHT” BY NOT JOINING IN THE LAWSUIT. HE BROKE HIS WORD.
