Few people are donating to the residents of Patten Towers after they were evacuated due to a fire last week. Greg Waite, CEO of the Chattanooga area red cross, says most people don't like patten towers, and some people perhaps feel that the evacuees shouldn't be helped. Still, Local relief organizations have spent more than 80 thousand dollars during the crisis. In the past seven days, they've served 12,000 meals, distributed 11,000 towels and blankets, conducted more than 600 medical appointments and treated two cats. And in return, they say only a few donations have come in.
