As far as I know anyone can volunteer to help. I`m sure though. One of the families they helped here was a guy that got shot and was blinded. He worked at Radio shack and they got robbed. But now they say in the news he can`t pay the mortgage on the new house. I have seen a lot of the shows where they pay the mortgage off for the people they helped. I feel bad for this guy. I think they should have paid his off too.
